About our coloured sealant in Craigie
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. Most enquiries involve hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and weathered sealant that no longer matches, across powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Craigie is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Craigie, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Signs you need coloured sealant in Craigie
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
Premises within reach of Kilmarnock station (to the north of Craigie) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

Coloured sealant around Craigie: points for this area
Craigie is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little. Weather-facing frames tend to need resealing before the sheltered ones
Whatever the building in Craigie, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

Why deal with it now?
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A short trial bead costs very little. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Craigie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out.

- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Common questions from Craigie clients
Which documents can you supply for work in Craigie?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Craigie too far out for you?
No. Places such as Craigie are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. We will tell you which colour is closest before work starts.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No, not in every case. We match as closely as the product’s range allows and can agree a sample bead first.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work 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 do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Check a trial length in real light
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent for whoever reseals next.
