Common questions from Aiginis clients
Will you take on work at estates like Parkend Industrial Estate, close to Aiginis?
Yes. We cover Aiginis and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parkend Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you take on a job in Aiginis, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Aiginis included. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, 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.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this 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. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Sealant applicators in Aiginis
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely 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 the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on external facade joints, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Aiginis is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
We price commercial jobs in Aiginis from photographs, drawings or a site visit, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Travel to smaller places such as Aiginis is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What affects the price in Aiginis
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing normally costs far less than renewal, though we’ll tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. For buildings near Aiginis, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. A few splits this year usually mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, so we’ll flag it if the detail needs a different product.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Commercial sealant contractors in Aiginis: the local picture
Aiginis is within about 1 mile of the coast. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Being on an island, Aiginis means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
Whatever the building in Aiginis, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material. On estates like Parkend Industrial Estate (2.2 miles west of Aiginis), the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.
Aiginis (Gaelic: Aignish) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We send applicators to Aiginis for sealant joints. Aiginis is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar on our list for sealant joints.

Just outside Aiginis, we also work in Na h-Eileanan an Iar (1 mile north-east), Knock (1 mile east), Lower Bayble (2 miles east), Garrabost (2 miles north-east) and Pabail Uarach (3 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
