Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks. Should something look amiss, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Tenston
- Window and door perimeters

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Questions we’re asked in Tenston
Can you take on a job in Tenston, on the island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Tenston. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Our building in Tenston 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 choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Tenston, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Commercial clients in Tenston
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
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. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Why act early in Tenston
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 Tenston, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Working on commercial sites near Tenston
Tenston 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. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Tenston is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. Outside work is booked with that in mind
A lasting commercial joint around Tenston begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. Where a joint is on show in Tenston, we will check which shades the product offers before work starts.
Tenston is about 12 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover commercial sites throughout Tenston, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, large and small.
