General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Coloured sealant in Broughtown, done properly
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Let us know who signs off colour, and we’ll fit the sample into the programme. If you are dealing with dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Broughtown is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Broughtown: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Broughtown with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
What we are called out for in Broughtown
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes that the sealant has to follow.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
For premises around Broughtown where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.

Working on commercial sites near Broughtown
With the shore within about 1 mile, Broughtown counts as a coastal location. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The east of Scotland, where Broughtown is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
For any commercial premises in Broughtown, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Broughtown is about 23 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Commercial clients in Broughtown can call on us for colour-matched joints, as part of our coverage of the Orkney Islands. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

How the job changes by surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Frames finished to a RAL reference are a frequent colour-matching job. The frame colour is checked against what the product is made in, and you confirm the choice.
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints usually look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range.
FAQs: Broughtown
Is Broughtown inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Broughtown included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Broughtown?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
