Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. Failed perimeters are cut out and cleaned, backing goes into deeper gaps, and the joint is resealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another suitable product.
Questions we are asked in Lochmaben
Is Lochmaben too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the sealant on our Lochmaben premises match the finishes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. If anything looks wrong, call 01277 525 020 or email us with a photo.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Lochmaben
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants, and many specifications refer to it.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
Refits at hotels like Kings Arms Hotel, under half a mile to the south of Lochmaben, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
