Coloured sealant in Dornie
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and the nearest option is agreed with you. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes, and what we’re called in for most is white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Dornie? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In smaller Scottish places like Dornie, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

What we are called out for in Dornie
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Look out for the following:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
Refits at hotels like Dornie Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Dornie, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

Coloured sealant around Dornie: how the place shapes the job
Dornie 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. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Being in the west of Scotland, Dornie gets more rain than eastern areas. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates. Shopfronts and frames facing the prevailing weather are where failures show first
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Ardelve Industrial Estate and Lochalsh Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Ardelve Industrial Estate (under half a mile north-west of Dornie) need neat joints where clients see them.
Dornie is in Highland. Across the IV40 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.
Postcode districts covered here: IV40 for colour-matched joints. Buildings on St Duthac Drive, Rathad an Àite Mhòir and Francis Street are within our area. Just outside Dornie, we also work in Carndu (1 mile north-east), Bundalloch (1 mile north-east), Auchtertyre (3 miles west), Reraig (4 miles west) and Inverinate (4 miles south-east).

Questions about Dornie
Does a coastal location like Dornie affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a smaller place like Dornie outside your area?
Not at all. Dornie is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. Where colour is critical, we can agree a short sample bead in a discreet spot. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it, so resealing protects the finishes as well as the look. Around smaller places like Dornie, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For work around Dornie, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
