About our commercial sealant contractors in Rattar
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike. If you have untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Rattar, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
If you look after more than one building near Rattar, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Travel to smaller places such as Rattar is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Rattar, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

What else we do in Rattar
Leave it or put it right?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Around smaller places like Rattar, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
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, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Working on commercial sites near Rattar
With the shore within about 1 mile, Rattar counts as a coastal location. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. Rattar is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed.
For any commercial premises in Rattar, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Rattar is about 10 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Rattar for work on sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places.
Work on sealant joints is covered throughout KW14, whatever the building. We also cover Scarfskerry (1 mile north-west), Dunnet (3 miles south-west), Brough (3 miles west), Canisbay (5 miles east) and Castletown (5 miles south-west) for sealant joints. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Your questions answered
Is Rattar off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can being near the sea in Rattar affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What the job involves on each surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Rattar?
No sealant joint is permanent. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
A hotel such as Castle Arms Hotel (1.4 miles east of Rattar) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
