Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Fortrose is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Around smaller places such as Fortrose, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
What Fortrose’s businesses ask us to seal
Fortrose 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. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. The west of Scotland, where Fortrose is, gets more rain than the east. Frontage work is booked with a few days’ give for the weather. Shopfronts and frames facing the prevailing weather are where failures show first
Offices and shops close to stations such as Inverness Airport station (to the south-east of Fortrose) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Fortrose is about 8 miles north-east of Inverness, in Highland. Anywhere in IV10, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 256 places in Highland. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, about 80 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in IV10 are within our area. For a building on Cathedral Square, High Street and Station Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for sealant joints. Fortrose sits on or close to the A832, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Sites close to Fortrose are covered too, including Rosemarkie (1 mile north-east), Avoch (2 miles south-west), Killen (3 miles west), Ardersier (4 miles east) and Davidston (5 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Inverness (8 miles south-west), Nairn (10 miles east), Cradlehall (7 miles south), Merkinch (8 miles south-west), Dingwall (11 miles west) and Hilton (9 miles south). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Fortrose
The nearest railway station is Inverness Airport station, about 4.3 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Groam House Museum (0.9 miles north-east) and Chanonry of Ross (under half a mile north-west). The countryside around Fortrose includes Fairy Glen.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
When to call us in Fortrose
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. Usually the movement was too much for the sealant chosen because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. Replacing it like for like rarely holds.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
On estates like Avoch Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Fortrose, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

Must a hotel around Fortrose close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
What do you need from us to quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we’re sealing, until its cure time has passed.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
