Common questions from Auchmithie clients
Will you take on work at estates like Wardmill Industrial Estate, close to Auchmithie?
Yes, sites like Wardmill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Auchmithie. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Arbroath Infirmary, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Auchmithie. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Auchmithie
Auchmithie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Auchmithie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Hospitals like Arbroath Infirmary (to the south-west of Auchmithie) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Warehouse floors on estates like Wardmill Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles to the south-west of Auchmithie, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Auchmithie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
