Commercial sealant contractors across PH20: what to expect
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: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. To get a programme moving in PH20, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site addresses. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and washrooms and tea points, and what we are called in for most is layers of sealant, all of them failing and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings.
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Pricing in PH20
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Commercial sealant contractors across PH20: the area picture
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Newtonmore, Etteridge and Gergask all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, PH20 among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can.
Newtonmore: For premises near Newtonmore station, which lies south-east of Newtonmore, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Industrial estates such as Newtonmore Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the south-east of Newtonmore, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. 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
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, so sound, smooth joints matter.
Common problems we fix in PH20
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. Typically the movement was too much for the sealant chosen: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way, which is why we look at the joint design as well.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
Quoting for work in PH20
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Surface by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Your questions answered
What site paperwork can you provide?
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
