Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Currie
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Currie, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Currie is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Currie
Will you take on work at estates like Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, close to Currie?
Yes, sites like Westside Plaza Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Currie. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Currie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Currie is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.

Mastic sealing around Currie: points for this area
Currie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Student blocks close to universities like Heriot-Watt University, 1.2 miles north-west of Currie, are easiest to work on between tenancies. If you look after a block within reach of Curriehill station (0.5 miles north-west of Currie), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Currie High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Currie is about 5 miles south-west of West Coates, in Edinburgh. Across the EH14 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 174 places in Edinburgh.

Surface by surface
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. You can also send details through our quote form.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Our process
Inspect, seal, 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 we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Currie, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Why it’s worth doing now in Currie
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Around smaller places like Currie, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
