What Lochinver’s businesses ask us to seal
Lochinver lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Lochinver is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates.
Refits at hotels like The Culag Hotel (to the south of Lochinver) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Whatever the building in Lochinver, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
Lochinver (Gaelic: Loch an Inbhir) is in Highland. Lochinver sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Lochinver is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for colour-matched joints.
Work on colour-matched joints is covered throughout IV27, for business premises of every kind. If your site is on Inver Terrace, Kirk Road and Inver Park or close by, send details and we will quote for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Stoer (5 miles north-west), Stor (5 miles north-west), An Druim Beag (6 miles north), Achiltibuie (10 miles south) and Scourie More (13 miles north) for colour-matched joints. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead.

How we handle coloured sealant in Lochinver
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again. Let us know who signs off colour, and we will fit the sample into the programme. Site teams most often ask us about stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms and colour changes after a rebrand or refit, across shop-fit joinery and counters, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lochinver? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Lochinver, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Lochinver with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Lochinver: questions and answers
Does a hotel in Lochinver need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is Lochinver too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lochinver are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No, not in every case. We match as closely as the product’s range allows.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. The colour can shift a little as it cures, so seeing it in place helps.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. A mismatched repair stands out, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A sample takes little time compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Lochinver. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Quoting for work in Lochinver
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
