Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Spott Road Industrial Estate, close to Broxburn?
Yes. We cover Broxburn and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Spott Road Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Broxburn off your patch?
No. Places such as Broxburn are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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 and we will price it properly.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Mastic sealing in Broxburn, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Broxburn? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Travel to smaller places like Broxburn is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What else we do in Broxburn
Planned mastic for Broxburn portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Broxburn counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Broxburn is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
Landlords with units on estates such as Spott Road Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles north-west of Broxburn, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Dunbar station (to the north-west of Broxburn) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Broxburn is about 12 miles east of Haddington, in East Lothian. Broxburn sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Broxburn is one of 48 places we cover in East Lothian for mastic joints. Sites around Edinburgh have their own page, about 28 miles away.
We take on mastic joints across the EH42 postcode area. Nearby places we also cover include Dunbar (1 mile north-west), Spott (2 miles south-west), Belhaven (2 miles north-west), West Barns (2 miles west) and Bielside (2 miles west) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Haddington (12 miles west), North Berwick (10 miles north-west), Gullane (13 miles west), East Linton (6 miles west) and Aberlady (14 miles west).
What’s near Broxburn
The nearest railway station is Dunbar station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Dunbar Town House Museum and Gallery (1.3 miles north-west) and Dunbar Castle (1.5 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Doon Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Around smaller places like Broxburn, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints

- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
When to call us in Broxburn
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- No planned programme for sealant
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Dunbar Collegiate Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
