Coloured Sealant in Highland

Our coloured sealant service in Highland

Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals that don’t match the original and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, on office fit-out finishes, natural stone and brick and shop-fit joinery and counters.

Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

1. The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
2. We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
3. Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
4. We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
5. We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.

What you’ll pay

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Maintenance after handover

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

• Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
• Record the product and colour reference on the building file
• Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
• Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant

If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. Wrong-colour patches are obvious, so it is better to reseal the section properly.

Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:

• Whether the work must be split into stages
• The total length or number of joints
• How accessible the joints are
• Location, for remote and island sites

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

What to include in your enquiry

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

• Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
• Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
• Whether an asbestos survey exists
• When you need the work done

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
