Cost factors for sealant joints
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
What we’re called out for in Lilliesleaf
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
Where a joint is on show in Lilliesleaf, we will check which shades the product offers before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. 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.

Questions about Lilliesleaf
Is Lilliesleaf off your patch?
Not at all. Lilliesleaf is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Lilliesleaf?
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.
Which site documents can you send us?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building near Lilliesleaf, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site

- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
