Sealant specialists in Lochinver
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. The enquiries we see most involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, across washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lochinver, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
On a typical commercial building in Lochinver, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
For a job around Lochinver, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Your questions answered
Is Lochinver too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do hotels near Lochinver have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and we will confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
On site: what to expect
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. Jobs near Lochinver are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Lochinver
Lochinver lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. Being in the west of Scotland, Lochinver gets more rain than eastern areas. Frontage work is booked with a few days’ give for the weather.
A hotel such as The Culag Hotel (to the south of Lochinver) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. A lasting commercial joint around Lochinver begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lochinver
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement. Around smaller places like Lochinver, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them and the joint gets left open. If that happens, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll price putting it right.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
