About commercial sealant contractors in EH95
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, picking the product for each location rather than one tube for everything. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints packed with grit and debris and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks.
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Near you in Muirhouse
We work on buildings around St Columba's Parish Church, Craigroyston Community High School and Gabrielle Keiller Library. For rail, the closest station is Haymarket station, roughly 2.3 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Waverley Mall (2.8 miles south-east) and Murrayfield Experience (2.2 miles south). For a walk, there’s The New Leaf Co-op and Corstorphine Hill.
Where commercial joints are in EH95
The commercial stock in EH95 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Muirhouse, West Pilton and Edinburgh Waterfront and beyond. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
Our area covers every Scottish council area, EH95 included. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. On the coastal side of EH95, sea-facing elevations typically show failed joints first.
Muirhouse: Refits at hotels like Village Hotel, 0.8 miles to the east of Muirhouse, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. For premises near Haymarket station (2.3 miles south-east of Muirhouse), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
How the job changes by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it; if the arrises are broken, we’ll say so before sealing.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control, and we install to the specification.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Cost factors for sealant joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
Your questions answered
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What site paperwork can you provide?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
