What else we do in Symbister
Commercial buildings in Symbister
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Symbister, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Symbister, as everywhere, commercial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Symbister is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Symbister get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

For a walk, there’s Ward of Clett and Bu Water.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed

Common problems we fix in Symbister
In an accessible wet room, water spreads across the floor every use, so the joints at floor level are under water often. A failed joint there can soon let water into the floor or walls.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
Whether the job is in Symbister itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
Include sealant in routine room inspections. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
In a commercial building, a leak can quickly spread beyond one room: through floors, into ceilings and across into corridors. Early resealing keeps it from getting that far.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites in most cases. Outdoor work around Symbister depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Once dry, every joint is resealed and tooled.
- We let your team know the cure time for every area.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why act early in Symbister
Sealant work is quick by the room: the job takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. After that, each area needs its cure time before use, so planning the order matters more than the hours on site. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Questions from Symbister
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Symbister?
All our work, in Symbister and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Symbister within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
