Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Widewall can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Sealant specialists in Widewall
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. If you have damp patches where an external joint has failed and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Widewall start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Occupied buildings in Widewall need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Around smaller places such as Widewall, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Widewall as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Widewall with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

What affects the price in Widewall
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Widewall
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Widewall. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Widewall is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. 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
Where a joint is on show in Widewall, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts. A lasting commercial joint around Widewall begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Widewall is about 12 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover Widewall and the rest of the Orkney Islands, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Widewall is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands on our list.
If you need commercial sealant contractors in KW17, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Main routes into Widewall include the B9042, useful when we plan access and materials. If your building is just outside Widewall, we cover St Margaret's Hope (2 miles north-east), Grimness (3 miles north-east), Burray Village (4 miles north-east), St Mary's (7 miles north) and Lyness (8 miles west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Well-known places in the area include W Hourston Blacksmiths Museum (1.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Mill Pond and Ward Hill.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Widewall affect which sealant is used?
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.
Is Widewall inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Widewall included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We confirm documents at quote stage: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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 a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s usually close behind, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings near Widewall, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
