Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Sealant specialists in Balintore
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them; phasing keeps some washrooms, kitchens or entrances available while others are done. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and external facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Balintore, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In an occupied building in Balintore, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Travel to smaller places such as Balintore is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
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. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement, though we’ll tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed. If that happens, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will price putting it right.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Balintore 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.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
Common questions from Balintore clients
Is Balintore too far out for you?
Not at all. Balintore is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around Balintore change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do we get a quote?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are normally enough to start through our quote form. Where we need to see it, we’ll arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
Working on commercial sites near Balintore
With the shore within about 1 mile, Balintore counts as a coastal location. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. The east of Scotland, where Balintore is, gets less rain than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed.
Industrial estates such as Cadboll Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the north of Balintore, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Balintore
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. That usually means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
For premises near Fearn station (3.4 miles north-west of Balintore), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
