Mastic sealing across Edinburgh: what to expect

Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and no planned programme for sealant.

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.

  1. Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
  2. You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
  3. The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
  4. We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
  5. Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
  6. Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

What you will pay

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Why appoint us

  • Fully insured
  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Failed material removed, not covered up

Getting a fixed quote

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Near you in Edinburgh

Around Edinburgh, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Signet Library, Bennets Bar and St Cuthbert's Church, among other places. Nearby too are Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (less than half a mile east), Tollcross Primary School (less than half a mile south), Bruntsfield Links (under half a mile south-east) and Boroughmuir High School (under half a mile south). Edinburgh’s nearest station is Haymarket station, roughly 0.5 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Fire (less than half a mile north-east) and Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion (less than half a mile east). The countryside around Edinburgh includes Salisbury Crags and Dunsapie Loch.

For owners and agents in Edinburgh

Across Edinburgh, from Leith, Bonnington and Greenside outwards, managing agents, landlords and housing associations look after blocks, mixed-use buildings and estates. Window and door perimeters and external joints on them need renewing as the mastic ages.

Our area covers every Scottish council area, Edinburgh included. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Coastal places in Edinburgh often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Edinburgh: Buildings close to stations like Haymarket station, 0.5 miles to the west of Edinburgh, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you’re responsible for a building such as St Cuthbert's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Why deal with it now?

Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • What site paperwork they can supply

Aftercare for building managers

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
  • Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
  • Group repairs into a planned programme
  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts

Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.

Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Surface by surface

Commercial and mixed-use buildings

Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Tenement and older buildings

Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

Commercial clients in Edinburgh

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

Should maintenance staff do it?

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Edinburgh clients

Will you quote for a small job?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

How long will the new sealant last?

There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

Do you work with property factors and landlords?

Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.

Will residents or tenants be disturbed?

Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.

How do I request a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.

What about access for upper-floor joints?

Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.

How much does the work cost?

It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
