What Evie’s businesses ask us to seal
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Evie. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Evie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing.
Where a joint is on show in Evie, we will check which shades the product offers before work starts.
Evie is about 11 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover Evie, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places.
If you need commercial sealant contractors in KW17, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Access to Evie is via the A966 among other routes, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. If your building is just outside Evie, we cover Tingwall (3 miles south-east), Settiscarth (5 miles south), Brinian (5 miles east), Abune-the-Hill (5 miles west) and Norseman (5 miles south). 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.

Commercial mastic work in Evie
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. Most enquiries involve wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Evie it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Evie can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
For a job around Evie, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Evie?
No sealant joint is permanent. 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. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, so periodic inspection matters more than any date on a schedule.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
Whatever the building in Evie, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Common questions from Evie clients
Our building in Evie is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Evie?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and we’ll confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Is Evie in your area?
Yes. Evie is in our area and the rest of the Orkney Islands. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For a building near Evie, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space

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.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed.
