How we handle coloured sealant in Craigour
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. Most enquiries involve marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges, across shop-fit joinery and counters, hotel bathrooms and public areas and natural stone and brick. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Craigour, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Much of the older commercial stock in Scotland’s cities is sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite. Stone needs a neutral-cure sealant suited to it and a colour that sits quietly against the masonry.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Coloured sealant around Craigour: how the place shapes the job
With the shore within about 3 miles, Craigour 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. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Craigour. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter.
Refits at hotels like Northumberland Hotel, 1.5 miles north-west of Craigour, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Retail sites such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre (to the north of Craigour) are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant. For premises near Shawfair station, 1.8 miles east of Craigour, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Craigour is about 3 miles north-west of Bonnyrigg, in Edinburgh. We cover commercial sites throughout Craigour, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Craigour is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh.
We cover the EH17 and EH16 postcode districts for colour-matched joints. If your site is on Gilmerton Road, Craigour Avenue and Ferniehill Road or close by, we can quote for colour-matched joints. Main routes into Craigour include the A772, useful when we plan access and materials. Sites close to Craigour are covered too, including Moredun (1 mile south-east), Fernieside (1 mile south-east), Little France (1 mile north), Ferniehill (1 mile south-east) and Ellen's Glen (1 mile south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Edinburgh (3 miles north-west), Leith (5 miles north), Bonnington (4 miles north-west), Greenside (3 miles north-west), Broughton (4 miles north-west) and Bellevue (4 miles north-west).

Recent enquiries here include premises near Drum Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Shawfair station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.

How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Craigour, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- 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 remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour, so a planned reseal often looks better value. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Questions about Craigour
Can you work at a site such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, by Craigour?
Yes, sites like Craigmillar Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Craigour. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a hotel in Craigour need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, and resealing restores the look when the time comes.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
