Common questions from Wishaw clients

Do you cover business parks and estates near Wishaw, such as Netherton Industrial Estate?

Yes. Our area takes in Wishaw and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Netherton Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

What site paperwork comes with a job in Wishaw?

We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.

How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?

That comes down to planning: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan the job around it.

How many days will you need on site?

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

When can the area be used after sealing?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.

Sealant specialists in Wishaw

On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. Site teams most often ask us about frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting, on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Wishaw it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

A lot of what we do in Wishaw is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.

Businesses and landlords in towns like Wishaw often have several premises to keep in order. Bringing the sealant for every building under one contractor and one quote saves time.

Work we carry out in North Lanarkshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Surface by surface

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

Retail work normally has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, working in sections where that helps.

Fire-rated seals where specified

Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control, and we install to the specification.

How a job runs

At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in Wishaw are planned with two things in mind: the forecast for external joints and the building’s hours for internal ones. Photos or drawings let us give a fixed quote and a realistic plan.

  1. We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  3. We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
  4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
  5. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
  6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Let building users know which areas are affected

When it isn’t the sealant

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
  • A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
  • Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)

If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Floor and threshold joints
  • Movement joints in walls and floors
  • Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
  • External facade joints
  • Washrooms and tea points
  • Window and door perimeters

Leave it or put it right?

A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing normally costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. Buildings in towns like Wishaw often have joints of similar age across a whole building or estate. Doing them together saves return visits.

A quote for sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What Wishaw’s businesses ask us to seal

The 3 miles around Wishaw take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal. Being in the east of Scotland, Wishaw gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range

A unit on an estate like Netherton Industrial Estate (1.1 miles west of Wishaw) normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. Offices and shops close to stations such as Wishaw station (to the south-west of Wishaw) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Units at places like Brandon Shopping Centre, 2.9 miles to the west of Wishaw, are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

Wishaw is about 6 miles east of Hamilton, in North Lanarkshire. Wishaw sits inside our coverage and the rest of North Lanarkshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across North Lanarkshire, 100 places are covered, Wishaw among them. Glasgow is covered too, around 15 miles from Wishaw.

Quoting for work in Wishaw

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Any access equipment needed

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.

Sending details for a quote

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:

  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Your programme or deadline

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Looking after the joints

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:

  • Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
  • Respect the cure time before reopening an area

Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll price putting it right.

Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
