Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle coloured sealant in Alnwickhill
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered sealant that no longer matches and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Alnwickhill from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
City-centre premises in Scotland often come with tight access, shared closes and loading restrictions. Give us your access times and any building rules and we’ll fit the work around them, phased so offices and shops keep trading.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Advice
Why act early in Alnwickhill
Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour, and the patchwork effect grows. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Alnwickhill
Less than 3 miles from Alnwickhill there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies. The east of Scotland, where Alnwickhill is, gets less rain than the west. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Offices and shops close to stations such as Shawfair station, 3.2 miles to the east of Alnwickhill, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Shopping centres and retail parks such as Cameron Toll Shopping Centre, 1.5 miles to the north of Alnwickhill, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. On estates like Eldin Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the south-east of Alnwickhill, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. Sometimes a mid-tone suits better than matching one panel, and a sample settles it.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
