How we handle coloured sealant in Currie
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we’ll show you the closest options. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes, and what we are called in for most is colour changes after a rebrand or refit and coloured joints that have cracked with movement. Most enquiries from Currie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a job around Currie, 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. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best, and a sample settles it.
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. We’ll tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a building near Currie, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

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.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Check a trial length in real light
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
Currie: questions and answers
Is Currie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the sealant on our Currie premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Commercial premises in Currie
Being in the east of Scotland, Currie gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range The 3 miles around Currie take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
Shop fits at places like Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, 1.6 miles to the north-east of Currie, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish. For premises near Curriehill station, which lies north-west of Currie, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Westside Plaza Shopping Centre and Pentland Gait Office Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
