What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints typically look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range for the elevation.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Wet-area sealants come in colours other than white too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
Coloured sealant in Diuranais
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself. We work on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes, and what we are called in for most is sealant that no longer suits recoated frames and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Diuranais tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a job around Diuranais, 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. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
Sealant on show in Diuranais’s commercial buildings
Diuranais lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The west of Scotland, where Diuranais is, gets more rain than the east. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little. Weather-facing frames tend to need resealing before the sheltered ones
In hotels such as Smoo Cave Hotel (1.2 miles east of Diuranais), refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Diuranais (Gaelic: Durness) is in Highland. Diuranais sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Diuranais among them.
We cover the IV27 postcode districts for colour-matched joints. If your site is on Hames Place and School Road or close by, we can quote for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Smoo (1 mile south-east), Melness (12 miles east), Kinlochbervie (13 miles south-west), Tongue (14 miles south-east) and Scourie (21 miles south-west) for colour-matched joints. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead.

FAQs: Diuranais
Does a hotel in Diuranais need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
Does a coastal location like Diuranais affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you cover Diuranais?
Yes. Diuranais falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes, where the product range allows. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas in commercial interiors.
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.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Diuranais
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints across one elevation. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
For any commercial premises in Diuranais, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Diuranais, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
