Facade sealing for businesses in Seafield
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
About our facade sealing in Seafield
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you are dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Seafield first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites in Scottish city centres tend to be hemmed in, with deliveries and storage to plan. We work to the programme and the site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why act early in Seafield
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Failed sealant in a shared building in Seafield can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common questions from Seafield clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Eastern General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Building and refurbishing in Seafield
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Seafield. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Seafield has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Seafield, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. When units on a site such as Leith Business Centre, under half a mile to the north of Seafield, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Extensions at sites like Eastern General Hospital (to the west of Seafield) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Seafield is about 1 mile north-east of Lochend, in Edinburgh. Seafield sits inside our coverage and the rest of Edinburgh, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 174 places across Edinburgh fall within our area, Seafield among them.
We take on facade joints across the EH6, EH7 and EH15 postcode area, whatever the building. For a building on Blackie Road, Seafield Road and Restalrig Road or nearby, we can quote for facade joints.

Bigger towns within reach include Edinburgh (3 miles south-west), West End (3 miles south-west), Stockbridge (3 miles west), West Coates (4 miles south-west), Sciennes (3 miles south-west) and Merchiston (3 miles south-west).
Landmarks near Seafield
Around Seafield, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Public House, Portobello Library and Lochend Park.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
