Sealant specialists in An t-Àth Leathann
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we’re there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. We work on external facade joints, washrooms and tea points and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy. A single leaking joint is often how a building in An t-Àth Leathann first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
A lot of what we do in An t-Àth Leathann is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
In smaller Scottish places like An t-Àth Leathann, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs near An t-Àth Leathann are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control, and we install to the specification.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year usually mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like An t-Àth Leathann, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
