Mastic sealing in Murrayfield, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Murrayfield and across Edinburgh, the process is the same: 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 or we can visit. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Murrayfield tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Tenements are a large part of the housing in Scotland’s cities, and shared repairs often go through a property factor. Shared-part mastic work is usually agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. City jobs in Murrayfield usually need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Can you work in a care home near Murrayfield with residents in?

How do you choose the sealant?

Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Quoting for work in Murrayfield
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

For owners and agents in Murrayfield
Murrayfield sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. The 2 miles around Murrayfield include seven care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Property owners at sites such as Russell Road Industrial Estate (to the east of Murrayfield) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Haymarket station (to the east of Murrayfield) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you manage student housing near a university such as Edinburgh Napier University, which lies south of Murrayfield, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
Different surfaces, different methods

Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.

Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
