Surface by surface
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. That only works where the joint and specification allow it because paint may crack where the joint moves.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.
Coloured sealant in Clestrain
On a finished interior or a high-quality elevation, the sealant is part of the look. We install coloured and colour-matched sealant so joints sit quietly against cladding, stone, brick, frames and shop-fit finishes, on commercial projects around Clestrain. Performance decides the product; the colour is chosen from that product’s range. If you have poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and patch repairs in several different colours, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Clestrain 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 Clestrain: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Clestrain as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Commercial clients in Clestrain
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Check a trial length in real light
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
Common questions from Clestrain clients
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Clestrain?
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.
Is Clestrain inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Clestrain is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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 if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are 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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Clestrain, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about 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 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Sealant on show in Clestrain’s commercial buildings
Clestrain lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Being in the east of Scotland, Clestrain gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Whatever the building in Clestrain, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material. Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
Clestrain is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Any commercial site in Clestrain is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 51 places across the Orkney Islands fall within our area, including Clestrain.
Business premises anywhere in KW17 are within our area for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Midland (2 miles south-east), Orphir (2 miles east), Clouston (3 miles north), Kirbister (3 miles east) and Stenness (3 miles north) for colour-matched joints. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
