How we handle coloured sealant in An Druim Beag
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. If you have dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges, we can help, on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and hotel bathrooms and public areas alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover An Druim Beag? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as An Druim Beag, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Paintable sealants
Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. We will tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.

When to call us in An Druim Beag
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
For any commercial premises in An Druim Beag, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near An Druim Beag. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Why deal with it now?
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation from one fit-out to the next. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Questions we’re asked in An Druim Beag
Is An Druim Beag too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in An Druim Beag?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
