Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong, so agree it with the designer at the start.
Coloured sealant in Allanton, done properly
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you have smeared sealant on stone or joinery and weathered sealant that no longer matches, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Allanton 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.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Allanton: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Common problems we fix in Allanton
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a different product was swapped in. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Barncluith Business Centre and Orbiston Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
