Commercial sealant contractors across IV15: what to expect
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Our quote form takes photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas and you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email us 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 external facade joints, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open.
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Dingwall: On estates like Riverside Field Industrial Estate, under half a mile south-east of Dingwall, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. Refits at hotels like The National Hotel, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Dingwall, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
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. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Leave it or put it right?
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
In wet areas the enemy is typically mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant; when mould is in the body of the sealant, no cleaner will shift it. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
Common questions from IV15 clients
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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.
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.
