Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Dornie
Remedial jobs in Dornie normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Typical jobs include worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
For a place like Dornie, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Dornie and everywhere else we cover.

Dornie homes and their sealant
Dornie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Dornie, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Dornie
Is Dornie within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Dornie?
All our work, in Dornie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. For a place like Dornie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Dornie
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
In the older streets around St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
