Commercial sealant contractors across AB56: what to expect
Getting a price for commercial sealant contractors in AB56 doesn’t need to be drawn out. Our quote form takes photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas and you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to talk it through. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit. We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open.
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What you’ll pay
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Where commercial joints are in AB56
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Buckie, Portknockie and Cullen all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, AB56 among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Along the coast in AB56, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.
Buckie: In hotels such as Old Coach House Hotel, which lies east of Buckie, refurbishments usually mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as March Road Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles east of Buckie, need neat joints where clients see them.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control, and we install to the specification.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Common questions from AB56 clients
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, priced site by site or as one programme.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we will work around it.
