After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. 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.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
What happens if it’s left?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Burnside of Duntrune. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common questions from Burnside of Duntrune clients
Is Burnside of Duntrune off your patch?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burnside of Duntrune, Baldovie Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Burnside of Duntrune, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- 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.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Burnside of Duntrune
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. That normally means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way, which is why we look at the joint design as well.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
A unit on an estate like Baldovie Industrial Estate (to the south of Burnside of Duntrune) typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
Comparing quotes
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. Failed perimeters are cut out and cleaned, backing goes into deeper gaps, and the joint is resealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another suitable product.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Burnside of Duntrune
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Burnside of Duntrune. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Burnside of Duntrune has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
In a retail centre such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre, 1.5 miles south-west of Burnside of Duntrune, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. Shops and cafés around stations like Broughty Ferry station, 2.8 miles to the south-east of Burnside of Duntrune, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
