Why act early in Clivocast
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing normally costs far less than renewal. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Clivocast, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Clivocast: questions and answers
Can you take on a job in Clivocast, on the island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Clivocast. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Clivocast?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder and removing it isn’t something we do.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves and isn’t worth paying for.
Working on commercial sites near Clivocast
Clivocast is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Being on an island, Clivocast means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
For any commercial premises in Clivocast, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Clivocast is in the Shetland Islands. If you are looking for commercial sealant contractors in Clivocast, we can help. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, Clivocast among them.

If your building is just outside Clivocast, we cover Cullivoe (4 miles north-west), Baltasound (6 miles north), Houbie (6 miles south), Camb (7 miles south-west) and Mid Yell (8 miles south-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Quoting for work in Clivocast
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we are called out for in Clivocast
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For a building near Clivocast, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits
