How commercial sealant contractors works in IV16
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. We work on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal.
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Where commercial joints are in IV16
Across IV16, from Evanton 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.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, IV16 among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can.
Evanton: Offices and shops close to stations such as Alness station, 3.9 miles north-east of Evanton, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you run a unit on an estate such as Highland Deephaven Industrial Estate, 1 mile east of Evanton, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
What affects the price in IV16
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
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.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. 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 give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form for a quote.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year usually mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Commercial clients in IV16
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.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common questions from IV16 clients
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’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Do you work in IV16?
Yes. We cover IV16. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and we’ll put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
