Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Curriehill
Across Curriehill and the rest of Edinburgh, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and failed external movement joints, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whoever orders the work in Curriehill, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Curriehill, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

For buildings near Curriehill, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Block-wide mastic in Curriehill
Curriehill is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Currie Kirk are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Pentland Gait Office Park (1.5 miles north-east of Curriehill), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Site managers at schools like Currie High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Curriehill is about 5 miles south-west of West End, in Edinburgh. Commercial clients in Curriehill use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Edinburgh. Curriehill is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh for mastic joints.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Pentland Gait Office Park, near Curriehill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Curriehill, Pentland Gait Office Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
We manage a building near Curriehill station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
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. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
What affects the price in Curriehill
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
