Sealant applicators in Craichie
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us to talk it through. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and layers of sealant, all of them failing. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Craichie, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
We price commercial jobs in Craichie from photographs, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Craichie: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FAQs: Craichie
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Craichie?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Craichie?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
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.
Do you work in Craichie?
Yes. We cover Craichie, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
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.
Sealant on show in Craichie’s commercial buildings
Being in the east of Scotland, Craichie gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind
For any commercial premises in Craichie, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. Where a joint is on show in Craichie, we will check which shades the product offers before work starts.

Other services in Craichie
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Craichie are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, 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.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Cost factors for sealant joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control; we install what’s specified.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks. If anything looks wrong, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a photo.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year usually mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
