About commercial sealant contractors in IV17
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: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. For sites in IV17, the quickest start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a list of addresses. Most enquiries involve messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints.
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Landmarks near Alness
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Alness Academy and Rosskeen Parish Church. Alness has its own railway station: Alness station. Other landmarks nearby include County Community Hospital (3.7 miles east) and Contullich Castle (1.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Loch Achnacloich and Udale Bay RSPB reserve.
Commercial premises across IV17
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Alness and Dalmore all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Work in IV17 comes under Scotland’s own building standards and technical handbooks. We seal to what has been specified, on every job. In the parts of IV17 near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first.
Alness: A hotel such as The Station Hotel, less than half a mile south of Alness, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. A unit on an estate like Teaninich Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south-west of Alness) typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
Building owners, agents and FMs in IV17
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in IV17 can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
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.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Common problems we fix in IV17
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
Common questions from IV17 clients
What about asbestos in old mastic?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, priced site by site or as one programme.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
