Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
FAQs: Milton of Balgonie
Does the sea air around Milton of Balgonie change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Eastfield Industrial Estate, near Milton of Balgonie, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Milton of Balgonie and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Eastfield Industrial Estate included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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.
Site staff or a sealant 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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why it’s worth doing now in Milton of Balgonie
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Milton of Balgonie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
