Murrayfield: questions and answers
Is Russell Road Industrial Estate, near Murrayfield, within your area?
Yes. We cover Murrayfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Russell Road Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Murrayfield?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. Send details and photographs, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
How we handle facade sealing in Murrayfield
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals run over old sealant and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Whoever orders the work in Murrayfield, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
Work we carry out in Edinburgh comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Shopfront frames

Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Contractors’ notes for Murrayfield
Murrayfield sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The area within 2 miles of Murrayfield holds plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Murrayfield Hotel, which lies south-east of Murrayfield, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New units and refits on sites such as Russell Road Industrial Estate (to the east of Murrayfield) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Commercial clients in Murrayfield
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Murrayfield. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Murrayfield can form part of a wider programme.
Why deal with it now?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Other services in Murrayfield
What we are called out for in Murrayfield
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Water coming in around window frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital (0.7 miles west of Murrayfield), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
