Coloured sealant in Aith, done properly
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Let us know who signs off colour, and we will fit the sample into the programme. If you are dealing with dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Aith, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a job around Aith, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Aith. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we’re called out for in Aith
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
For premises around Aith where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What affects the price in Aith
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Surface by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction as agreed with the designer.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used in the closest available colour.
Sealant on show in Aith’s commercial buildings
With the shore within about 1 mile, Aith counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Being in the east of Scotland, Aith gets less rain than the west coast. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days.
For any commercial premises in Aith, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Aith is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, including Aith.
We cover the ZE2 postcode districts. Buildings on Marthastoon and Wirligert are within our area for colour-matched joints. Access to Aith is via the B9071, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Just outside Aith, we also work in Kalliness (4 miles south-east), Voe (6 miles north-east), Easter Skeld (7 miles south), Dury (7 miles east) and Vassa (8 miles east). Nearby towns on our patch include Lerwick (12 miles south-east), Sound (12 miles south-east), Scalloway (11 miles south) and Brae (8 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Aith affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Aith inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Aith included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so one colour reference can carry across every site.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
The colour doesn’t change what kind of sealant it is. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last.
