Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Around smaller places like Gullane, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Gullane
Across Gullane and the rest of East Lothian, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are window mastic that has split and shrunk and draughts at frames across a block. Most enquiries from Gullane start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Gullane is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For work around Gullane, 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open

What else we do in Gullane
Looking after buildings in and around Gullane
Gullane is within about 1 mile of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Gullane is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
For agents with blocks near Drem station, 2.6 miles to the south-east of Gullane, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Historic properties like Gosford House (3.4 miles south-west of Gullane) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Older community buildings, St Peter’s Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Gullane is about 6 miles north of Haddington, in East Lothian. We cover Gullane, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our East Lothian coverage takes in 48 places. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, roughly 16 miles from Gullane.
We cover the EH31 postcode districts. If your site is on Main Street, Muirfield Station and Muirfield Terrace or close by, send details and we will quote for mastic joints.

Bigger towns within reach include Musselburgh (11 miles south-west), Haddington (6 miles south), Dunbar (12 miles east), Tranent (8 miles south-west), Prestonpans (8 miles south-west) and Cockenzie and Port Seton (7 miles south-west).

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product and we choose accordingly.
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.
Gullane: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Gullane affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Gullane too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Gullane is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to 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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
