Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
About our commercial sealant contractors in Ormiston
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, handled with the same process each time: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. For sites in Ormiston, the quickest start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a list of addresses. If you have frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ormiston it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In an occupied building in Ormiston, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
In smaller Scottish places like Ormiston, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near Ormiston 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.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
FAQs: Ormiston
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Ormiston?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Ormiston off your patch?
No. Places such as Ormiston are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically 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’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan the job around it.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. We’ll recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement; if the arrises are broken, we will say so before sealing.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, frequently colour-matched to the fit-out. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
