About our coloured sealant in Broxburn
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, natural stone and brick and office fit-out finishes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a run of joints in mismatched shades and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms. Whoever orders the work in Broxburn, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a job around Broxburn, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Broxburn
Is Broxburn too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a hotel in Broxburn need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For work around Broxburn, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- 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.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broxburn
A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes. 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.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us 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.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
