For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Quoting for work in Douglastown
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions from Douglastown clients
Can you work at a site such as Orchardbank Business Park, by Douglastown?
Yes, sites like Orchardbank Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Douglastown. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Douglastown off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Douglastown, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
