Coloured sealant in Bonaly, done properly
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, exactly as for a standard colour. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, powder-coated and anodised frames and office fit-out finishes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant that no longer suits recoated frames and dirty, discoloured joints in public areas. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bonaly? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Bonaly, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Sealant on show in Bonaly’s commercial buildings
Being in the east of Scotland, Bonaly gets less rain than the west coast. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Bonaly. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean.
A unit on an estate like Dumbryden Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north of Bonaly, typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. Shops and cafés around stations like Kingsknowe station (to the north of Bonaly) trade from early, so work is timed around them. A business with units at Dumbryden Industrial Estate and Westside Plaza Shopping Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Bonaly is about 3 miles south-west of Merchiston, in Edinburgh. We send applicators to Bonaly for colour-matched joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Bonaly is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.

Local landmarks in Bonaly

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong, so agree it with the designer at the start.
Questions we’re asked in Bonaly
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Bonaly?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Bonaly too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
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: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Related advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panels
Multi-coloured cladding needs a joint colour that works across it. A neutral tone from the range often works best.
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. It depends on movement and the specification, as paint can crack on a moving joint.
