What Lochans’s businesses ask us to seal
With the shore within about 3 miles, Lochans counts as a coastal location. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Lochans is on Scotland’s wetter western side. We plan external joints for dry spells and keep internal work in reserve.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Stranraer station (to the north of Lochans) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Lochans is about 3 miles south of Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway. Lochans sits inside our coverage and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Lochans is one of 139 places in Dumfries and Galloway on our list for colour-matched joints. Glasgow is covered too, some 74 miles away.
We take on colour-matched joints across the DG9 postcode area, whatever the building.

Close to Lochans, our area also takes in Lime Kiln (2 miles north-east), Stranraer (3 miles north), Aird (3 miles north-east), Stoneykirk (3 miles south-east) and Castle Kennedy (3 miles north-east).

About our coloured sealant in Lochans
Where finishes matter, a white or grey bead in the wrong place stands out. We install coloured and colour-matched sealant so joints sit quietly against cladding, stone, brick, frames and shop-fit finishes. Performance decides the product; the colour is chosen from that product’s range. If you’re dealing with smeared sealant on stone or joinery and previous reseals that don’t match the original, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lochans from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Lochans, 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 with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
Colours can soften with light and weathering. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, and a reseal brings it back.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. Replacing them on a schedule keeps finishes looking right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Lochans, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- 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.
Before we start on site

Questions we are asked in Lochans
Is Lochans off your patch?
No. Places such as Lochans are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can being near the sea in Lochans affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does the colour affect how the joint performs?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. The joint gets the product it needs, in a colour from that product’s range with the same preparation and backing.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Common problems we fix in Lochans
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme that the sealant has to follow.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
If you run a unit on an estate such as Castle Kennedy Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north of Lochans, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Comparing quotes
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Proof of insurance
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
