How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Outdoor work around Smailholm depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- Joints are cleaned, treated for mould and dried.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Questions from Smailholm
Is commercial sealant in Smailholm guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Smailholm within the area you cover?
Yes, Smailholm is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How do I get a quote for commercial sealant in Smailholm?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you provide RAMS?
Tell us what paperwork your site needs, such as method statements, risk assessments or insurance details, and we will confirm what we can supply with the quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
Strong chemicals and scourers wear silicone out faster. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant, with stronger products kept off the bead.
Planned resealing is easier to manage than emergency repairs. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, rather than closed at short notice.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we’re called out for in Smailholm
Shower trays and baths in busy buildings move more: people of all sizes, daily cleaning and constant loading all work at the joint. A tray that isn’t fully supported soon tears its seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Smailholm Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
