What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, so we will flag it if the detail needs a different product.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Broughtown
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. Site teams most often ask us about messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting, on external facade joints, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Broughtown? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In an occupied building in Broughtown, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
For a job around Broughtown, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: 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 in the Orkney Islands comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions about Broughtown
Will you travel to Broughtown on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Broughtown included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does a coastal location like Broughtown affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What else we do in Broughtown
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why act early in Broughtown
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. For buildings near Broughtown, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around Broughtown with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Commercial sealant contractors around Broughtown: what changes locally
Broughtown lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Island jobs, Broughtown among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Colour references and photos up front let us bring the right sealants first time.
For any commercial premises in Broughtown, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. Where a joint is on show in Broughtown, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts.
