About our commercial sealant contractors in Stromness
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. We’re commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors looking after property in Stromness. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints with the sealant torn out and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked, across window and door perimeters, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Stromness, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
We price commercial jobs in Stromness from photos, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
Around smaller places such as Stromness, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Working on commercial sites near Stromness
Stromness lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Being in the east of Scotland, Stromness gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
A lasting commercial joint around Stromness begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Stromness is about 12 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our applicators travel to Stromness for work on sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across the Orkney Islands, 51 places are covered, including Stromness.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- 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
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. Where work has disturbed a joint, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form for a quote.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, so sound, smooth joints matter.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Other services in Stromness
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Stromness, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Common problems we fix in Stromness
In wet areas the enemy is normally mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant; when mould is in the body of the sealant, no cleaner will shift it. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
A hotel such as Royal Hotel, less than half a mile to the east of Stromness, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stromness
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Stromness before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Stromness
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Questions we are asked in Stromness
Must a hotel around Stromness close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you take on a job in Stromness, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Stromness included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and we’ll confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
