About our commercial sealant contractors in Broadmeadows
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors looking after property in Broadmeadows. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. The enquiries we see most involve window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, on movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and floor and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Broadmeadows, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Broadmeadows can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.

What the job involves on each surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
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. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control; we install what’s specified.

Quoting for work in Broadmeadows
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Broadmeadows
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Broadmeadows. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Questions we’re asked in Broadmeadows
What site paperwork comes with a job in Broadmeadows?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Broadmeadows?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What Broadmeadows’s businesses ask us to seal
Broadmeadows is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
For premises around Broadmeadows where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote. Whatever the building in Broadmeadows, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Broadmeadows, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
