About our commercial sealant contractors in Caddonfoot
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. If you have messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and damp patches where an external joint has failed, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Caddonfoot tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a typical commercial building in Caddonfoot, 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 Caddonfoot, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Caddonfoot. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Commercial sealant contractors around Caddonfoot: points for this area
Caddonfoot 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 near Galashiels station, 2.9 miles to the east of Caddonfoot, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. A hotel such as Clovenfords Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north of Caddonfoot, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. Shop fits at places like Comely Bank Mill Retail Park, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Caddonfoot, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish.

Caddonfoot: questions and answers
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Caddonfoot?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is a smaller place like Caddonfoot outside your area?
No. Places such as Caddonfoot are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
Which site documents can you send us?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
