Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A short trial bead costs very little compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ettrickbridge. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Ettrickbridge
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it typically comes late in a programme. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes, and snag any marks before we leave. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Most enquiries involve old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and patch repairs in several different colours, on cladding panels, hotel bathrooms and public areas and shop-fit joinery and counters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ettrickbridge tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Ettrickbridge: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Scottish Borders. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Sealant on show in Ettrickbridge’s commercial buildings

Where a joint is on show in Ettrickbridge, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong, so agree it with the designer at the start.
Questions about Ettrickbridge
What site paperwork comes with a job in Ettrickbridge?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Ettrickbridge?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you cover Ettrickbridge?
Yes. We cover Ettrickbridge. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Natural stone and brick
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Office fit-out finishes
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
