About our coloured sealant in Arniston
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. When replacing old joints, the new colour usually has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. We work on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Arniston, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Arniston: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why act early in Arniston
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Arniston with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What else we do in Arniston
FAQs: Arniston
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Arniston?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Arniston too far out for you?
Not at all. Arniston is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. We’ll tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Arniston
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Arniston
The 3 miles around Arniston take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal. Arniston is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Gorebridge station (0.7 miles north of Arniston) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Industrial estates such as Butlerfield Industrial Estate (2.3 miles north of Arniston) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Butlerfield Industrial Estate and Mayfield Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Arniston is about 4 miles south-east of Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian. Anywhere in EH23, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Midlothian coverage takes in 34 places, large and small. Edinburgh is covered too, some 10 miles away.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
