Parkgrove: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Parkgrove?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you cover Parkgrove?
Yes. We cover Parkgrove, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
About our facade sealing in Parkgrove
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Parkgrove? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
City-centre sites in Scotland normally mean booked deliveries, tight storage and shared access. We work to the programme and the site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Work we carry out in Edinburgh comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

What we’re called out for in Parkgrove
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Building work at universities like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus (2.4 miles south of Parkgrove) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
Facade sealing in Parkgrove: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Parkgrove counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Parkgrove follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Hotels like Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield (0.6 miles south-east of Parkgrove) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. On a healthcare site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital (1.6 miles south-east of Parkgrove), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Parkgrove is about 4 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Any commercial site in Parkgrove is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 174 places across Edinburgh fall within our area, Parkgrove among them.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Commercial clients in Parkgrove
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Parkgrove can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
