- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Office fit-out finishes
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Natural stone and brick
Coloured sealant in Clate, done properly
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, natural stone and brick and cladding panels, and what we’re called in for most is coloured joints that have cracked with movement and dirty, discoloured joints in public areas. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Clate is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Clate, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Clate as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Clate. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What Clate’s businesses ask us to seal
Clate sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Being in the east of Scotland, Clate gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Whatever the building in Clate, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
Clate is about 13 miles north of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Clate sits inside our coverage and the rest of the Shetland Islands, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Clate is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands for colour-matched joints.
Work on colour-matched joints is covered throughout ZE2, for business premises of every kind. If your site is on Rocky Road and Harlsdale or close by, we can quote for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Sandwick (1 mile north), Symbister (1 mile north), Hamister (1 mile north), Huxter (1 mile east) and Tripwell (2 miles north-east). Further afield, our area takes in Lerwick (13 miles south), Sound (14 miles south) and Brae (12 miles west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Common problems we fix in Clate
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
For premises around Clate where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.

Questions we’re asked in Clate
Does the sea air around Clate change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Clate?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Note which sealant colour was used where
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler.
How the job changes by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Counters, display units and wall linings are seen close up. Clean masking and neat tooling matter as much as colour.
Office fit-outs
Office fit-outs include glazed partitions, kitchens, washrooms and reception areas. A consistent colour across floors looks deliberate at handover.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Clate is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
