Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk it through. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, and a fixed quote for the agreed scope follows. We work on washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby. Whoever orders the work in Voe, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
If you look after more than one building near Voe, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Voe: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

When to call us in Voe
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
Whatever the building in Voe, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What else we do in Voe
Sealant on show in Voe’s commercial buildings
Voe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Voe is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed.
For premises around Voe where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Voe is in the Shetland Islands. Our applicators travel to Voe for work on sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, large and small.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
Cost factors for sealant joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Common questions from Voe clients
Does a coastal location like Voe affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Voe?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is your work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is Voe in your area?
Yes. We cover Voe, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How a job runs
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 the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Voe, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- 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.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
