What the job involves on each surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Sealant specialists in Old Drumchapel
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, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant. If you are dealing with water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can put it right, on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Old Drumchapel? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
If you look after more than one building near Old Drumchapel, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Much of the older commercial stock in Scotland’s cities is sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Glasgow. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

What affects the price in Old Drumchapel
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Commercial clients in Old Drumchapel
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Old Drumchapel can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Glasgow.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Common questions from Old Drumchapel clients
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Old Drumchapel?
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.
Will you take on work at estates like Great Western Retail Park, close to Old Drumchapel?
Yes. Our area takes in Old Drumchapel and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Great Western Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
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.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Movement joints in walls and floors

Site staff or a sealant 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 a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
