Commercial sealant contractors across IV99: what to expect
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line.
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- 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.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- 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.

Where commercial joints are in IV99
From Crown and Millburn outwards, IV99 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. Our part is sealing to the specification, whatever the building. Coastal places in IV99 often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.
Crown: Parks like Beechwood Business Park North, 0.8 miles to the east of Crown, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. For premises near Inverness station, which lies north-west of Crown, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Why deal with it now?
Putting off a reseal normally moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their public liability cover
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
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.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take

Questions about IV99
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.
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 are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
That comes down to planning: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
