How we handle coloured sealant in Ardrishaig
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant, and the nearest option is agreed with you. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. Site teams most often ask us about patch repairs in several different colours and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ardrishaig first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a job around Ardrishaig, 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. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Ardrishaig
On some projects the colour was never agreed. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
On estates like Kilmory Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Ardrishaig, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

Questions we are asked in Ardrishaig
Will our hotel in Ardrishaig need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Ardrishaig, such as Kilmory Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Kilmory Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ardrishaig. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We will confirm what’s available for the specified product.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh, so keep the area clear.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Ardrishaig is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about 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 remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Coloured sealant in Ardrishaig: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ardrishaig counts as a coastal location. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. Ardrishaig is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little. Elevations facing the weather usually show failed joints first
A hotel such as Argyll Arms Hotel (to the east of Ardrishaig) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints normally look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range before work starts.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We show you the closest options in the product’s range so you can choose.
