How commercial sealant contractors works in IV27
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. Most enquiries involve black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters.
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.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- 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.

Where commercial joints are in IV27
Commercial buildings across IV27 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, IV27 among them. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible. On the coastal side of IV27, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Lochinver: For a hotel such as The Culag Hotel, 0.5 miles south of Lochinver, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. For any commercial premises in Lochinver, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them and the joint gets left open. If that happens, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll price putting it right.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Why deal with it now?
Putting off a reseal usually moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next, and the bill then involves other trades. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What site paperwork they can supply
IV27: questions and answers
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
How do we get a quote?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are typically enough to start through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
