Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Braehoulland
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product before we quote. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we will show you the closest options. 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 old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Braehoulland is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For work in and around Braehoulland, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Sealant on show in Braehoulland’s commercial buildings
With the shore within about 1 mile, Braehoulland counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Braehoulland is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
For any commercial premises in Braehoulland, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. Where a joint is on show in Braehoulland, we will check which shades the product offers before work starts.
Braehoulland is about 28 miles north-west of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Any commercial site in Braehoulland is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, Braehoulland among them.
Business premises anywhere in ZE2 are within our area. If your building is just outside Braehoulland, we cover Hillswick (3 miles south-east), Urafirth (4 miles east), Hogaland (7 miles east), Ollaberry (8 miles east) and Sullom (8 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Quoting for work in Braehoulland
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Braehoulland can sit alongside others in a wider programme across the Shetland Islands.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs near Braehoulland are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Braehoulland change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work on the island where Braehoulland is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Braehoulland included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We check the colour range of the sanitary product specified.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead, so it’s worth checking in real light.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
A standard colour is quicker to source, though not always right. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is normally worth it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Braehoulland before they leak.
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
