FAQs: Dornie
Which documents can you supply for work in Dornie?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Must every washroom in our Dornie building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote before we start.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How we handle washroom sealing in Dornie
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant stained black around basins and showers and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dornie 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.
Travel to smaller places like Dornie is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dornie
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Around smaller places like Dornie, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Quoting for work in Dornie
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
What we’re called out for in Dornie
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Look out for the following:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
For a hotel such as Dornie Hotel, less than half a mile south-west of Dornie, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Wet areas in Dornie’s workplaces
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Dornie, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Dornie is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
For an occupier at a site such as Ardelve Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north-west of Dornie), the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
