Sealant specialists in Fauldhouse
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Most enquiries involve shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and damp patches where an external joint has failed, across external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fauldhouse tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
A lot of what we do in Fauldhouse is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
For work in and around Fauldhouse, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Fauldhouse 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.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- 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 us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Sealant on show in Fauldhouse’s commercial buildings

Common questions from Fauldhouse clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Fauldhouse?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Fauldhouse?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves and isn’t worth paying for.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, room by room if that suits the building.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Quoting for work in Fauldhouse
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. Where work has disturbed a joint, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over for a quote.
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.
