About our commercial sealant contractors in Shandwick
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Shandwick is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Occupied buildings in Shandwick need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Shandwick: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: 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.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, in a shade that suits the frame.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Commercial premises in Shandwick
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Shandwick. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Shandwick is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed.
Shops and cafés around stations like Fearn station (3.3 miles north-west of Shandwick) trade from early, so work is timed around them. A unit on an estate like Cadboll Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north of Shandwick, usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
Shandwick is about 12 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Shandwick for work on sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Shandwick. We also cover Aberdeen, around 79 miles from Shandwick.

What happens if it’s left?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal, and we will say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Shandwick, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

FAQs: Shandwick
Can being near the sea in Shandwick affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you take on work at estates like Cadboll Industrial Estate, close to Shandwick?
Yes. We cover Shandwick and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Cadboll Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and we will confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Does the weather affect the 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.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
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.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Shandwick is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
