Questions about Strathblane

Is Strathblane off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Killearn Hospital?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?

Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

How do we ask for a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Do you need to see the site first?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.

Construction mastic in Strathblane

Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place and gives you a consistent finish across the job. If you are dealing with old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and cracks opening in caulked internal joints, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Strathblane, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

External sealing around Strathblane depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around Strathblane with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

  1. We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
  2. A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
  3. Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
  4. Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
  5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
  6. Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How the quote is worked out

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:

  • The size and state of each joint
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Access and working height
  • Which sealant the job calls for

The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What we need to price the job

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:

  • When you need the work done
  • The postcode of the building
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

General trades versus a specialist

There’s also the paperwork. 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.

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Strathblane

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Strathblane can form part of a wider programme.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

After the work

For the best life from the joints:

  • Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
  • Protect sealed areas from following trades
  • Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
  • Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them

Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.

Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

What we can’t put right

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:

  • Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
  • Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
  • Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t

If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Cladding and panel joints
