How commercial sealant contractors works in EH12
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us, run the same way on every site: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. To get a programme moving in EH12, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site addresses. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line.
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What you will pay
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Near you in East Craigs
In East Craigs, that means premises near Edinburgh and Craigmount High School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Edinburgh Gateway station, about 0.7 miles south-west. A little further out are Craigcrook Castle (1.7 miles east) and Corstorphine Hospital (1.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Corstorphine Hill and Dundas Loch.
Shops, offices and hotels in EH12
Commercial buildings across EH12 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, with a little give in the programme for wet or frosty days. EH12 includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
East Craigs: Units at places like The Gyle Shopping Centre, 0.7 miles south of East Craigs, are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme. Sites a few miles apart, such as West Craigs Industrial Estate and Gyle Shopping Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
Common problems we fix in EH12
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
What affects the price in EH12
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
