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
- Check a trial length in real light
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks over time.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent for whoever reseals next.
How we handle coloured sealant in Boddam
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, so we check what the specified product is made in. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we’ll show you the closest options. Most enquiries involve joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and powder-coated and anodised frames. For commercial sealant work in Boddam, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For work in and around Boddam, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.

Commercial premises in Boddam
Boddam lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Work on Boddam has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Send photographs, a complete list and any colour references first, so nothing is left behind.
Where a joint is on show in Boddam, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Boddam
Older sealant changes colour over time. Sunlight, dirt and pollution can darken, yellow or chalk the surface, so joints that once matched no longer do. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
Whatever the building in Boddam, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

What we can’t put right

- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. We choose from the product’s range and agree the colour with you.
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. We pick a facade-grade sealant in a shade that sits with the panels, suited to the expected movement.
Common questions from Boddam clients
Is Boddam inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Boddam is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Does a coastal location like Boddam 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 do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Boddam, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it 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.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
