Our commercial sealant contractors service in EH38
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form. Where the photographs don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. Most enquiries involve movement joints packed with grit and debris and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job, across floor and threshold joints, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points.
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.
- 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.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant contractors across EH38: the area picture
The commercial stock in EH38 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Heriot and beyond. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, EH38 among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can.
Heriot: Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in. A lasting commercial joint around Heriot begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. We plan around the access windows the store gives us.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
What we are called out for in EH38
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open

What affects the price in EH38
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Questions we are asked in EH38
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
