How commercial sealant contractors works in East Dunbartonshire
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails. We’re commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line.
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. 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.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- 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.

Commercial premises across East Dunbartonshire
The commercial stock in East Dunbartonshire mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Kirkintilloch, Bearsden and Bishopbriggs and beyond. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
In Scotland, managing agents for tenements are often called property factors, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts.
Kirkintilloch: Refits at hotels like The Broadcroft Hotel (to the north-west of Kirkintilloch) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Occupiers with premises at both Woodilee Industrial Estate and Southbank Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form for a quote.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year normally mean more next year. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs have their place. Where the remaining sealant is just as old, it tends to fail soon after, so access and set-up end up being paid for twice. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Your questions answered
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work in East Dunbartonshire?
Yes. East Dunbartonshire is in our area. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
