Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Quoting for work in Toogs
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Toogs
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. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. We work on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is layers of sealant, all of them failing and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Toogs tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Occupied buildings in Toogs 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 Toogs: 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Shetland Islands. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Leave it or put it right?
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, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Around smaller places like Toogs, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Toogs
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Toogs. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. For an island location such as Toogs, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Send photographs, a complete list and any colour references first, so nothing is left behind.
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in. A lasting commercial joint around Toogs begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Common questions from Toogs clients
Can being near the sea in Toogs affect the sealant we need?
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.
Do you work on the island where Toogs is?
Yes, Toogs is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Toogs. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
