Commercial sealant contractors in Aberlady, done properly
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. If you are dealing with window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations, we can help, on movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Aberlady, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
We price commercial jobs in Aberlady from photographs, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
For work in and around Aberlady, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Aberlady
In wet areas the enemy is normally mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant, and once established it rarely cleans out. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
Refits at hotels like The Leddie Hotel & Restaurant (to the north-west of Aberlady) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
What your quote should include
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen

Commercial sealant contractors in Aberlady: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Aberlady. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Aberlady. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Longniddry station, 2.4 miles south-west of Aberlady, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

What the job involves on each 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.
Window and door perimeters
Where frames meet the surrounding wall, sealant is the weather line. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
FAQs: Aberlady
Is Aberlady off your patch?
Not at all. Aberlady is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our hotel in Aberlady need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do we get a quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What affects the price in Aberlady
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
There’s no price list, 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.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Aberlady is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
