What happens if it’s left?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is typically worth it in how the finished space looks. 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.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Coloured sealant in Borgh, done properly
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work, and we leave the area clean. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. If you have joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, we can help. Most enquiries from Borgh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Borgh: 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints usually look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. The nearest colour in the range is agreed with you for the elevation.
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. That only works where the joint and specification allow it.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Natural stone and brick
- Cladding panels

Sealant on show in Borgh’s commercial buildings
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Borgh. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Being on an island, Borgh means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
A lasting commercial joint around Borgh begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. For a hotel such as Borve Country House Hotel (less than half a mile north-east of Borgh), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Borgh (Gaelic: Borve) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We cover commercial sites throughout Borgh, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, 87 places are covered, Borgh among them.
Work on colour-matched joints is covered throughout HS2, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on Gearra Mor and Sraid na H-Eaglaise are within our area for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Shader (1 mile south-west), Barabhas (5 miles south-west), West Side (6 miles south-west), South Dell (6 miles north-east) and North Dell (6 miles north-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.
Borgh: questions and answers
Can the sealant on our Borgh premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Borgh change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do you cover Borgh?
Yes. We take on work across Borgh.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: 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 Borgh. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about 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.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
