Commercial clients in Hamnavoe
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Hamnavoe can form part of a wider programme across the Shetland Islands.
How we handle coloured sealant in Hamnavoe
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, so we check what the specified product is made in. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. If you’re dealing with patch repairs in several different colours and weathered sealant that no longer matches, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Hamnavoe? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Hamnavoe: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Hamnavoe: questions and answers
Our building in Hamnavoe is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you take on a job in Hamnavoe, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Hamnavoe included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hamnavoe is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Hamnavoe
On some projects the colour was never agreed, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
For premises around Hamnavoe where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their public liability cover
- What site paperwork they can supply
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Working on commercial sites near Hamnavoe
Hamnavoe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Hamnavoe is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Whatever the building in Hamnavoe, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
