Coloured sealant across Taobh Lochaidh

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
  • Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
  • Finishes that change colour from one area to another

Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Shop-fit joinery and counters
  • Office fit-out finishes
  • Powder-coated and anodised frames
  • Hotel bathrooms and public areas
  • Cladding panels
  • Natural stone and brick

Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Taobh Lochaidh

Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, so we check what the specified product is made in. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on cladding panels, natural stone and brick and shop-fit joinery and counters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Taobh Lochaidh, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

For work in and around Taobh Lochaidh, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.

Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sets the cost

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • How accessible the joints are
  • Working within restricted access windows

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Before you send an enquiry

However big the job, these details speed things up:

  • When you need the work done
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Maintenance after handover

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Check a trial length in real light
  • Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
  • Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
  • Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints

Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration, and plan resealing before it looks tired.

Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches.

How a job runs

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Taobh Lochaidh is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

  1. We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
  2. We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
  3. Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
  4. We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
  5. We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.

Before we start on site

  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Getting a fixed quote

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

FAQs: Taobh Lochaidh

Is Taobh Lochaidh too far out for you?

Not at all. Taobh Lochaidh is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Must a hotel around Taobh Lochaidh close while you work?

Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.

Can we see a sample before the full job?

Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.

What Taobh Lochaidh’s businesses ask us to seal

With the shore within about 2 miles, Taobh Lochaidh counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Taobh Lochaidh. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen.

Offices and shops close to stations such as Banavie station, 0.6 miles north-west of Taobh Lochaidh, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Blar Mhor Industrial Estate and Fort William Retail Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. A hotel such as Ben Nevis Hotel and Leisure Club (0.7 miles south of Taobh Lochaidh) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Taobh Lochaidh (Gaelic: Lochyside) is in Highland. Anywhere in PH33, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Taobh Lochaidh. We also cover Glasgow, around 75 miles from Taobh Lochaidh.

Work on colour-matched joints is covered throughout PH33, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Columba Court, Riverside Grove and Old School Court or nearby, send details and we will quote for colour-matched joints. With the B8006 nearby, Taobh Lochaidh is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Sites close to Taobh Lochaidh are covered too, including Caol (1 mile west), Inverlochy (1 mile south), Banbhaidh (1 mile north-west), Corpach (2 miles west) and Fort William (2 miles south-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Near you in Taobh Lochaidh

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar and Black Parks, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Banavie station, about 0.6 miles north-west. Nearby you will also find Treasures Of The Earth (1.5 miles west) and Belford Hospital (1.3 miles south-west).

Different surfaces, different methods

Office fit-outs

In offices, sealant appears at partitions, tea points, washrooms and reception desks. A consistent colour across floors looks deliberate.

Powder-coated and anodised frames

Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL colours often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against what the product is made in.
