Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.

Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. Site teams most often ask us about sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, across floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kennoway tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Kennoway can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, and the scope is set out in writing.
Around smaller places such as Kennoway, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- 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.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. A few splits this year usually mean more next year. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Kennoway. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near Kennoway 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.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

What affects the price in Kennoway
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Kennoway
Kennoway lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The east of Scotland, where Kennoway is, gets less rain than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Industrial estates such as Banbeath Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Kennoway) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. Sites a few miles apart, such as Banbeath Industrial Estate and Mountfleurie Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. In a retail centre such as Riverside Retail Park, 2.1 miles south-east of Kennoway, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.

FAQs: Kennoway
Does a coastal location like Kennoway affect which sealant is used?
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.
Will you take on work at estates like Banbeath Industrial Estate, close to Kennoway?
Yes. We cover Kennoway and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Banbeath Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
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.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
