What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
- Cladding panels
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
Coloured sealant in Erbusaig
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. The enquiries we see most involve stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, on natural stone and brick, powder-coated and anodised frames and office fit-out finishes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Erbusaig from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Erbusaig, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to call us in Erbusaig
Exposure takes its toll on colour. UV, grime and weathering alter how a bead looks after a few years, and an old match drifts. Resealing is the chance to reset the colour.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
Offices and shops close to stations such as Duirinish station (1.5 miles north-east of Erbusaig) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Quoting for work in Erbusaig
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used

Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Erbusaig need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Our building in Erbusaig is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. We will tell you which colour is closest.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. 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, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No. An exact bespoke match isn’t something we can promise. We’ll show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range for your approval.
Will the colour fade over time?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Erbusaig 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.
- 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 remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Check a trial length in real light
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks over time.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
Coloured sealant around Erbusaig: what changes locally
Erbusaig lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The area within 2 miles of Erbusaig holds a number of hotels. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme.
In hotels such as Tingle Creek Hotel (less than half a mile south-west of Erbusaig), refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Erbusaig is in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Erbusaig, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Erbusaig is one of 256 places in Highland on our list.

Just outside Erbusaig, we also work in Drumbuie (1 mile north-east), Kyle of Lochalsh (1 mile south), Kyleakin (2 miles south), Balmacara (3 miles east) and Plockton (4 miles north-east).
