Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Wick
We have applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years, and the paperwork side is in order: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. If you have water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wick first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Occupied buildings in Wick need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Travel to smaller places such as Wick 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. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

What Wick’s businesses ask us to seal
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Wick. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Wick has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen.
Retail sites such as Wick Retail Park, 0.7 miles south-west of Wick, are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant. For premises near Wick station, less than half a mile to the west of Wick, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Wick is in Highland. Commercial clients in Wick can call on us for sealant joints, as part of our coverage of Highland. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Wick.
We take on sealant joints across the KW1 postcode area, whatever the building. Streets here include Market Street, Argyle Square and High Street. Being close to the A99 and A882, Wick is easy to get to with materials and equipment. If your building is just outside Wick, we cover Whiterow (1 mile south), Staxigoe (1 mile north-east), Ackergillshore (2 miles north), Haster (3 miles west) and Reiss (3 miles north-west). As one of the bigger centres in Highland, Wick has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Wick is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it; if the arrises are broken, we’ll say so before sealing.
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone, with phased work so some facilities stay open.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Wick Retail Park, near Wick?
Yes. Our area takes in Wick and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wick Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Must a hotel around Wick close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder and removing it isn’t something we do.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Commercial clients in Wick
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Common problems we fix in Wick
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
Sites a few miles apart, such as Wick Retail Park and Lochshell Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact.
