What Kyleakin’s businesses ask us to seal
Kyleakin is within about 1 mile of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. A 2-mile radius around Kyleakin takes in a number of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
For a hotel such as Kings Arms Hotel, under half a mile to the east of Kyleakin, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Shops and cafés around stations like Kyle of Lochalsh station, 1 mile to the north-east of Kyleakin, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Kyleakin (Gaelic: Caol Acain) is in Highland. Our applicators travel to Kyleakin for work on colour-matched joints. Kyleakin is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.

How we handle coloured sealant in Kyleakin
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant, and the nearest option is agreed with you. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. If you have smeared sealant on stone or joinery and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Kyleakin, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Kyleakin, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. Replacing them on a schedule keeps finishes looking right across the building.
Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. It depends on movement and the specification.
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. We choose from the product’s range and agree the colour with you before the full run.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kyleakin
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Kyleakin can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Kyleakin. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Other services in Kyleakin
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kyleakin is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
Kyleakin: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Kyleakin affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Must a hotel around Kyleakin close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
