Commercial sealant contractors for Harray sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Commercial mastic work in Harray
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we’re there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them; phasing keeps some washrooms, kitchens or entrances available while others are done. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal. Searching for sealant specialists in Harray? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Harray can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Travel to smaller places such as Harray is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.

Working on commercial sites near Harray
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Harray. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Harray is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Where a joint is on show in Harray, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts. A lasting commercial joint around Harray begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Harray is about 9 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We send applicators to Harray for sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across the Orkney Islands, 51 places are covered, including Harray.

Questions we’re asked in Harray
Do you work on the island where Harray is?
Yes, Harray is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Our building in Harray is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
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 for as long as the cure needs.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
Why act early in Harray
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Harray before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why clients in Harray choose us

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Where we can, we combine work around Harray with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site

- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Request a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
