Commercial sealant contractors across IV1: what to expect
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form; you can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the details. Where the photographs don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. The enquiries we see most involve layers of sealant, all of them failing and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- 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.
Pricing in IV1
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Near you in Longman
We work on buildings around East Church, Millburn Academy and Cavell Gardens, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Inverness station, roughly 0.6 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Inverness Castle (0.8 miles south) and Royal Northern Infirmary (1.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Tomnahurich.
Shops, offices and hotels in IV1
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Inverness, Merkinch and Crown all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. On the coastal side of IV1, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Longman: Offices and shops close to stations such as Inverness station, 0.6 miles south of Longman, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you run a unit on an estate such as Carse Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the west of Longman, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around IV1. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in IV1 can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Highland.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
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 will all fail early. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
Common questions from IV1 clients
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send photos, drawings or a list of locations. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Do you cover IV1?
Yes. IV1 falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
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.
