Sealant specialists in Tom nan Ragh
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photographs, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to talk it through. If the joints need seeing in person, a site visit comes first, and a fixed quote for the agreed scope follows. The enquiries we see most involve black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, across floor and threshold joints, external facade joints and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Tom nan Ragh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Occupied buildings in Tom nan Ragh need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Tom nan Ragh: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Your questions answered
Can the sealant on our Tom nan Ragh premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can being near the sea in Tom nan Ragh affect the sealant we need?
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.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

Yes. We cover Tom nan Ragh and the rest of Argyll and Bute. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Working on commercial sites near Tom nan Ragh
Tom nan Ragh 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. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Tom nan Ragh is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates. Elevations facing the weather normally show failed joints first
For any commercial premises in Tom nan Ragh, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Tom nan Ragh with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Site photographs, 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.

Commercial clients in Tom nan Ragh
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Tom nan Ragh. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What we’re called out for in Tom nan Ragh
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
A hotel such as Cot House Hotel (0.8 miles north of Tom nan Ragh) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
Why act early in Tom nan Ragh
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. Around smaller places like Tom nan Ragh, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
