Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Duns is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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 take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Coloured sealant in Duns, done properly
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, so we check what the specified product is made in before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on natural stone and brick, cladding panels and powder-coated and anodised frames, and what we are called in for most is a run of joints in mismatched shades and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Duns is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For work in and around Duns, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Duns Industrial Estate, near Duns?
Yes. Our area takes in Duns and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Duns Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Duns too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so one colour reference can carry across every site.
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Signs you need coloured sealant in Duns
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints. Resealing a whole run in one agreed colour tidies it up.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
A unit on an estate like Duns Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the south of Duns, normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Duns
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why it’s worth doing now in Duns
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is normally worth it in how the finished space looks. For buildings near Duns, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
Sealant on show in Duns’s commercial buildings
Being in the east of Scotland, Duns gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. Outside work is booked with that in mind There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Duns. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
In hotels such as Barniken Hotel, less than half a mile to the east of Duns, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
