About our commercial sealant contractors in Boddam
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, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. 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 window and door perimeters, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Boddam, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
A lot of what we do in Boddam is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Boddam: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

When to call us in Boddam
In wet areas the enemy is normally mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead; when mould is in the body of the sealant, no cleaner will shift it. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
Industrial estates such as Dales Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the north-west of Boddam, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will price putting it right.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.

Questions about Boddam
Is a smaller place like Boddam outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do hotels near Boddam have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Boddam with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What Boddam’s businesses ask us to seal
Boddam sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Being in the east of Scotland, Boddam gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Refits at hotels like Seaview Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Boddam, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
