Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Back, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Coloured sealant in Back, done properly
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. If you are dealing with smeared sealant on stone or joinery and white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Back, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a job around Back, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Back
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A sample takes little time against redoing a whole elevation. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Back, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

How the job changes by surface
Paintable sealants
Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. We will tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
Office fit-outs
Office fit-outs include glazed partitions, kitchens, washrooms and reception areas. Colour-matched joints keep the finish consistent across floors at handover.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. Replacing them on a schedule keeps finishes looking right across the building.
Signs you need coloured sealant in Back
Exposure takes its toll on colour. UV, grime and weathering alter how a bead looks after a few years, and an old match drifts. Resealing is the chance to reset the colour.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Where a joint is on show in Back, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Back
Back sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Back is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little. Weather-facing frames tend to need resealing before the sheltered ones
Whatever the building in Back, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
Back is about 6 miles north-east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Any commercial site in Back is covered. Back is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Questions we are asked in Back
Do you work on the island where Back is?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Back. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Back?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
