Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
Commercial mastic work in Broomhouse
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Broomhouse first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
On a typical commercial building in Broomhouse, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Around smaller places such as Broomhouse, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Work we carry out in Glasgow comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t usually be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.

Questions we’re asked in Broomhouse
Is a smaller place like Broomhouse outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do hotels near Broomhouse have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Quoting for work in Broomhouse
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Broomhouse, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send your site hours and access windows

Broomhouse has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate and Glasgow Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. A unit on an estate like Birkenshaw Trading Estate, 1 mile to the east of Broomhouse, usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. For a hotel such as Redstones Hotel, which lies south-east of Broomhouse, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broomhouse
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. 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. Early resealing prevents it.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
