Leave it or put it right?
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. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. 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. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Working on commercial sites near Castlebay
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Castlebay. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. For an island location such as Castlebay, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Colour references and photographs up front let us bring the right sealants first time.
A lasting commercial joint around Castlebay begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. A hotel such as Castlebay Hotel (to the north-west of Castlebay) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. 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.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Castlebay can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally 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 Castlebay. 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.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Castlebay close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you take on a job in Castlebay, on the island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Castlebay. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away and isn’t worth paying for.
