What happens if it’s left?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation. Around smaller places like Addiewell, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Addiewell
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. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. 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 kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Addiewell first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
On a typical commercial building in Addiewell, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Addiewell: 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Addiewell
Can you work at a site such as West Calder Business Centre, by Addiewell?
Yes. We cover Addiewell and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as West Calder Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Addiewell too far out for you?
No. Places such as Addiewell are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.

What else we do in Addiewell
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
When to call us in Addiewell
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
If you run an office at a site such as West Calder Business Centre, 1.4 miles east of Addiewell, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
