About commercial sealant contractors in AB15
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We work on window and door perimeters, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes.
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Pricing in AB15
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
Getting a fixed quote
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.
Near you in Cults
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Hazlehead Park, Cults and Cults Academy, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Aberdeen station, about 3.5 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Blairs College (1.5 miles south) and Woodend Hospital (2 miles north). Open spaces near Cults include Blue Hill and Portlethen Moss.
Shops, offices and hotels in AB15
Across AB15, from Rosemount, Berryden and Queen's Cross to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to what has been specified, on every job. On the coastal side of AB15, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Cults: Offices and shops close to stations such as Aberdeen station, 3.5 miles to the north-east of Cults, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Garthdee Retail Park and Mastrick Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What we are called out for in AB15
No sealant joint is permanent. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Quoting for work in AB15
What shapes the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them and the joint gets left open. If that happens, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will price putting it right.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to.
Building owners, agents and FMs in AB15
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
FAQs: AB15
Do you cover AB15?
Yes. We take on work across AB15.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away and isn’t worth paying for.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
