What the job involves on each surface

Fire-rated seals where specified

Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else.

Washrooms and toilets

Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t usually be cleaned out. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.

General trades versus a specialist

Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

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.

Looking after the joints

Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:

  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
  • Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
  • Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant

We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.

In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Rankinston can form part of a wider programme across East Ayrshire.

Common questions from Rankinston clients

Is a smaller place like Rankinston outside your area?

Not at all. Rankinston is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you match sealant colours for premises in Rankinston?

Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.

Which site documents can you send us?

Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.

Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?

On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.

Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?

A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from handover. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.

How many days will you need on site?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Our process

In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Rankinston. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

  1. Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
  4. The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
  5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Flag any permit to work we’ll need
  • Send your site hours and access windows
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why act early in Rankinston

Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. For buildings near Rankinston, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

What you get with us

  • Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product
  • Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
