Coloured sealant in Ferryhill, done properly
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites and previous reseals that don’t match the original. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ferryhill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Ferryhill as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Ferryhill close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Does a coastal location like Ferryhill 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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No, not always. We choose the nearest standard colour.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Coloured sealant in Ferryhill: the local picture
Ferryhill is within about 2 miles of the coast. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Ferryhill has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean, often in colours that suit the décor.
Units at places like Union Square Aberdeen (to the north-east of Ferryhill) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Balnagask Retail Park and Wellington Trade Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Units at retail parks like Balnagask Retail Park (0.7 miles south-east of Ferryhill) change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage.
Ferryhill is about 1 mile south-east of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. We cover commercial sites throughout Ferryhill. Our Aberdeen coverage takes in 40 places.

What else we do in Ferryhill
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. Future repairs can then use the same colour, avoiding a patchwork.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
