How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Lochmaddy
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. If you have expansion joints with the sealant torn out and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lochmaddy tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In an occupied building in Lochmaddy, the job is planned so areas stay in use: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Travel to smaller places such as Lochmaddy is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
On site: what to expect
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, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Lochmaddy with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or 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.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

What the job involves on each surface
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services.
Questions we’re asked in Lochmaddy
Does the sea air around Lochmaddy change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you travel to Lochmaddy on the island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Lochmaddy. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long do sealant joints 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.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cost factors for sealant joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochmaddy
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. For buildings near Lochmaddy, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Commercial premises in Lochmaddy
With the shore within about 1 mile, Lochmaddy counts as a coastal location. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The west of Scotland, where Lochmaddy is, gets more rain than the east. Frontage work is booked with a few days’ give for the weather.
For any commercial premises in Lochmaddy, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. In hotels such as Lochmaddy Hotel, which lies south-east of Lochmaddy, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Lochmaddy (Gaelic: Loch nam Madadh) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Across the HS6 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places.
