Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Borestone. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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 remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How we handle coloured sealant in Borestone
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. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you have poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and previous reseals that don’t match the original, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Borestone, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a job around Borestone, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What Borestone’s businesses ask us to seal
Borestone has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading. The 3 miles around Borestone take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.

Shops and cafés around stations like Stirling station, 2.7 miles to the north of Borestone, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match, so a planned reseal often looks better value. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Borestone before they leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

FAQs: Borestone
Will our hotel in Borestone need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is a smaller place like Borestone outside your area?
Not at all. Borestone is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Office fit-out finishes
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Cladding panels
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Surface by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between as agreed with the designer.
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. Colour is agreed on site where possible after a sample if needed.
When to call us in Borestone
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Laurelhill Business Park and Thistle Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
