Commercial sealant contractors in Lochaline, done properly
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form; you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the details. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit. If you’re dealing with wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Lochaline it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Lochaline, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
For a job around Lochaline, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Lochaline as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Lochaline, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Lochaline clients
Is Lochaline off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Lochaline affect which sealant is used?
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.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
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.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints

- Movement joints in walls and floors
Commercial premises in Lochaline
Lochaline 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. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. The west of Scotland, where Lochaline is, gets more rain than the east. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates. Shopfronts and frames facing the prevailing weather are where failures show first
For any commercial premises in Lochaline, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

Common problems we fix in Lochaline
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
In hotels such as Lochaline Hotel, which lies south of Lochaline, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, so sound, smooth joints matter.
