Coloured sealant in Na h-Eileanan Siar: how it works

We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Na h-Eileanan Siar. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there. We work on cladding panels, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are discoloured joints on a visible elevation and colour changes after a rebrand or refit.

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
We compare the target colour with the colours available.
The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.

Local landmarks in Stornoway

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Neptune's Bar and Nicolson Institute. A little further out are Western Isles Hospital (0.5 miles north) and Lewis Loom Centre (less than half a mile south-west). Not far away are Loch Àirigh na Lic.

Commercial premises across Na h-Eileanan Siar

Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, from Stornoway, Tarbert and Plasterfield to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact.

In Scotland, managing agents for tenements are often called property factors, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Na h-Eileanan Siar includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Stornoway: Refits at hotels like Royal Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Stornoway, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Offices at parks like Gleann Seileach Business Park, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Stornoway, have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters.

Owners, agents and contractors

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Na h-Eileanan Siar can form part of a wider programme.

After the work

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Settle the colour with the designer at the start
Use one colour standard across multi-site work
Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints

Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.

Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.

Common problems we fix in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Different products and batches used over the years leave a patchwork along a shopfront. Resealing a whole run in one agreed colour tidies it up.

Most enquiries start with something like this:

Previous reseals that don’t match the original
Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges

Should maintenance staff do it?

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

When it isn’t the sealant

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to

FAQs: Na h-Eileanan Siar

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.

Is any job too small?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.

What hours do you work?

Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

How do you choose the sealant?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
