Commercial mastic work in North Roe
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, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you have external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, we can help, on window and door perimeters, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in North Roe? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In North Roe, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
In smaller Scottish places like North Roe, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from North Roe clients
Can you take on a job in North Roe, on the island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as North Roe. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in North Roe?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near North Roe. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Commercial clients in North Roe
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. North Roe can form part of a wider programme across the Shetland Islands.
Common problems we fix in North Roe
In wet areas the enemy is usually mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
Where a joint is on show in North Roe, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like North Roe. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- CHAS accredited

What else we do in North Roe
Shops, offices and hotels in and around North Roe
With the shore within about 1 mile, North Roe counts as a coastal location. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Work on North Roe has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
A lasting commercial joint around North Roe begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
North Roe is in the Shetland Islands. If you are looking for commercial sealant contractors in North Roe, we can help, as we do across the Shetland Islands. We work across 63 places in the Shetland Islands, large and small.

For a walk, there’s Loch of the North Haa and Hill of Sandvoe.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
