Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Commercial mastic work in Earlsferry
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. If you have untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, we can help, on window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Earlsferry it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Occupied buildings in Earlsferry need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Around smaller places such as Earlsferry, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Why deal with it now?
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Earlsferry before they leak.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.
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.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode

Commercial sealant contractors in Earlsferry: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Earlsferry. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Earlsferry is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
For tenants and agents on sites such as Bass Rock Business Park, which lies north-east of Earlsferry, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. In hotels such as The Golf Hotel, 0.5 miles east of Earlsferry, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Common questions from Earlsferry clients
Does your area include sites such as Bass Rock Business Park, near Earlsferry?
Yes. Our area takes in Earlsferry and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bass Rock Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Earlsferry too far out for you?
Not at all. Earlsferry is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
