Sealant specialists in Stornoway
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. For sites in Stornoway, the quickest start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a list of addresses. If you have mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Stornoway, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
A lot of what we do in Stornoway is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
For a job around Stornoway, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

What happens if it’s left?
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. For buildings near Stornoway, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Working on commercial sites near Stornoway
Stornoway sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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 usually where failed joints show first. The area within 2 miles of Stornoway holds several hotels. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet.
If you run an office at a site such as Gleann Seileach Business Park, which lies north-west of Stornoway, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Sites a few miles apart, such as Gleann Seileach Business Park and Marybank Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Stornoway (Gaelic: Steòrnabhagh) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Our applicators travel to Stornoway for work on sealant joints. We work across 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar, large and small.
Anyone looking for commercial sealant contractors in HS1 and HS2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Barony Square, Bain Square and Grant Square are within our area for sealant joints. Access to Stornoway is via the A857 and A859 among other routes, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. If your building is just outside Stornoway, we cover Plasterfield (1 mile east), Laxdale (1 mile north), Sandwick (1 mile south-east), Steinis (1 mile east) and Newmarket (1 mile north). Stornoway ranks among the main centres of Na h-Eileanan Siar, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings, and we cover them all. Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Around Stornoway
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Neptune's Bar, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Western Isles Hospital (0.5 miles north) and Lewis Loom Centre (less than half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Loch Àirigh na Lic.
When to call us in Stornoway
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
In hotels such as Royal Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Stornoway, refurbishments usually mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Stornoway is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Stornoway
Will you travel to Stornoway on the island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Stornoway. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Do hotels near Stornoway have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we’ll confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
