Areas we cover
Our commercial sealant contractors service in PH12
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints with the sealant torn out and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and external facade joints.
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Pricing in PH12

Commercial premises across PH12
From Newtyle, Meigle and Ardler outwards, PH12 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, 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 mastic work on shared parts may come through the factor.
Newtyle: Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in. For any commercial premises in Newtyle, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. We’ll recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement; if the arrises are broken, we will say so before sealing.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
What we’re called out for in PH12
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
PH12: questions and answers
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Which site documents can you send us?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
