Our commercial sealant contractors service in AB21
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years, and the paperwork side is in order: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, across window and door perimeters, external facade joints and washrooms and tea points.
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in AB21
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Commercial premises across AB21
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Dyce, Cummings Park and Danestone all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so we keep some flexibility in the dates. On the coastal side of AB21, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first.
Aberdeen: Shop fits at places like Berryden Retail Park, under half a mile north-east of Aberdeen, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish. Offices and shops close to stations such as Aberdeen station (to the south-east of Aberdeen) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over for a quote.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Common problems we fix in AB21
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
Work for main contractors and building owners
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.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
Questions we’re asked in AB21
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance, until its cure time has passed.
Do you work in AB21?
Yes. We cover AB21 and the rest of Aberdeen, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
How long do sealant joints last?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
