Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Sealant applicators in Skelbo Muir
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. If you’re dealing with wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Skelbo Muir, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Occupied buildings in Skelbo Muir need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Skelbo Muir: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Skelbo Muir as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next, and the bill then involves other trades. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Sealant on show in Skelbo Muir’s commercial buildings
With the shore within about 1 mile, Skelbo Muir counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The west of Scotland, where Skelbo Muir is, gets more rain than the east. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates.
Refits at hotels like Trentham Hotel, 1.1 miles to the south-west of Skelbo Muir, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Shops and cafés around stations like Golspie station, 3.9 miles to the north-east of Skelbo Muir, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks.

- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
Surface by surface
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; if the arrises are broken, we’ll say so before sealing.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Questions about Skelbo Muir
Is Skelbo Muir off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Our building in Skelbo Muir is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder and removing it isn’t something we do.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
It’s normal for us to work in occupied buildings. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we’re sealing, until its cure time has passed.
