Questions about Kingholm Quay
Could you schedule work at a campus like Crichton University Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midpark Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Kingholm Quay
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and previous reseals run over old sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kingholm Quay, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Kingholm Quay, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kingholm Quay
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

How a job runs

Advice
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
When to call us in Kingholm Quay
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
When units on a site such as St. Mary's Industrial Estate (2 miles north of Kingholm Quay) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
