When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Sealant specialists in Crossgates
We have applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Crossgates, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Occupied buildings in Crossgates need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Crossgates: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
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.

Common questions from Crossgates clients
Is Crossgates too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Crossgates is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must a hotel around Crossgates close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crossgates
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s normally close behind. We can price both options so you can decide on the facts. 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. Early resealing prevents it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why clients in Crossgates choose us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a photo.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.

What else we do in Crossgates
Common problems we fix in Crossgates
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
A business with units at Halbeath Interchange Business Park and Fordell Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Being in the east of Scotland, Crossgates gets less rain than the west coast. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days.
