Commercial sealant contractors across DD6: what to expect
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to talk it through. If the joints need seeing in person, a site visit comes first, and a fixed quote for the agreed scope follows. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave 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.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Around Newport-on-Tay
We work on buildings around Slessor Gardens and Newport Primary School. The closest station to Newport-on-Tay is Dundee station, about 1.8 miles north-west. A little further out are Overgate Centre (2 miles north-west) and Discovery Point (1.7 miles north-west). The countryside around Newport-on-Tay includes Balgay Hill and Trottick Mill Ponds.
Where commercial joints are in DD6
Across DD6, from Newport-on-Tay, Tayport and Wormit to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. On the coastal side of DD6, sea-facing elevations typically show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Newport-on-Tay: Retail sites such as Gallagher Retail Park, 2.1 miles north of Newport-on-Tay, are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant. Offices and shops close to stations such as Dundee station (1.8 miles north-west of Newport-on-Tay) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it; if the arrises are broken, we’ll say so before sealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Proof of insurance
Common questions from DD6 clients
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is DD6 in your area?
Yes. Sites across DD6 are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are typically enough to start through our quote form. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
