Coloured sealant for Arbuthnott sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How we handle coloured sealant in Arbuthnott
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes, and snag any marks before we leave. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about coloured joints that have cracked with movement and previous reseals that don’t match the original, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Arbuthnott? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For a job around Arbuthnott, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Arbuthnott
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside, and it lifts the whole area. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Arbuthnott. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Arbuthnott with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. Future repairs can then use the same colour.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.

What else we do in Arbuthnott
FAQs: Arbuthnott
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Arbuthnott?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does a coastal location like Arbuthnott affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What Arbuthnott’s businesses ask us to seal
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Arbuthnott. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Being in the east of Scotland, Arbuthnott gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
For any commercial premises in Arbuthnott, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
