Commercial sealant contractors in KW16

About commercial sealant contractors in KW16

Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, run the same way on every site: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. For sites in KW16, the quickest start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with a list of addresses. Most enquiries involve movement joints packed with grit and debris and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints.

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact.

1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
2. The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
3. Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
4. Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
5. The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
6. Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Around Stromness

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Stromness and stromness primary school. A little further out are Stromness Museum (less than half a mile south). Green spaces nearby include Hill of Lynedardy and Brodgar RSPB Reserve.

After the work

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:

• Respect the cure time before reopening an area
• Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
• Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
• Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building

New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.

Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.

Cost factors for sealant joints

These are the things that shape the price:

• Site requirements such as inductions and permits
• Travel to remote or island sites
• Whether the work must be split into stages
• Which sealant the job calls for

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Details that help us quote

Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

• The site address and postcode
• Access details, including height
• A wide shot and a close-up of the area
• Asbestos survey details if the building is older

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
