How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dores is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

Sealant specialists in Dores
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Our quote form takes photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas; you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the details. 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. If you have untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and damp patches where an external joint has failed, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Dores, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Dores can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Around smaller places such as Dores, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Dores clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Dores?
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.
Is Dores too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What we are called out for in Dores
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. In commercial buildings those factors tend to act together.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. If that happens, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll price putting it right.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
