About our coloured sealant in Evie
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites in Evie. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, particularly where the building’s look matters. If you’re dealing with a run of joints in mismatched shades and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Evie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Evie: 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A sample takes little time compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Evie. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Do you need coloured sealant in Evie?
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Look out for the following:
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Evie, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

What Evie’s businesses ask us to seal
Evie lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Evie is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Whatever the building in Evie, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
Evie is about 11 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW17 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across the Orkney Islands, 51 places are covered, including Evie.
Commercial sites across KW17 are covered for colour-matched joints. You’ll find Evie on or near the A966. We also cover Tingwall (3 miles south-east), Settiscarth (5 miles south), Brinian (5 miles east), Abune-the-Hill (5 miles west) and Norseman (5 miles south) for colour-matched joints. Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions from Evie clients
Can you take on a job in Evie, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Evie included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does a coastal location like Evie affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No, not always. We match as closely as the product’s range allows and a sample can be approved before the full run.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Evie can sit alongside others in a wider programme across the Orkney Islands.
