When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Coloured sealant in Farr
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, however well it was installed. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured joints on a visible elevation and previous reseals that don’t match the original, across hotel bathrooms and public areas, natural stone and brick and powder-coated and anodised frames.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions we’re asked in Farr
What site paperwork comes with a job in Farr?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Farr too far out for you?
Not at all. Farr is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so one colour reference can carry across every site.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. The colour can shift a little as it cures, so seeing it in place helps.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Farr is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs 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.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows

Different surfaces, different methods
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL colours often need a sealant to suit. We compare the reference with the specified product’s colour range, and you confirm the choice.
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in without affecting the joint’s performance.
Common problems we fix in Farr
Exposure takes its toll on colour. Sunlight, dirt and pollution can darken, yellow or chalk the surface. Resealing is the chance to reset the colour.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent and easier to manage.
