How we handle coloured sealant in Fettercairn
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, on powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick. Whoever orders the work in Fettercairn, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a job around Fettercairn, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it, so resealing protects the finishes as well as the look. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Fettercairn. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common problems we fix in Fettercairn
Exposure takes its toll on colour. Sunlight, dirt and pollution can darken, yellow or chalk the surface, so joints that once matched no longer do. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
For premises near Laurencekirk station (4.3 miles east of Fettercairn), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Comparing quotes
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
Expect some change in appearance over the years. That is normal for exposed sealant, and a reseal brings it back.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.

What Fettercairn’s businesses ask us to seal
Being in the east of Scotland, Fettercairn gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
In hotels such as Ramsay Arms Hotel, which lies south-west of Fettercairn, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Your questions answered
Is Fettercairn too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Fettercairn is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Fettercairn?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How the job changes by surface
Paintable sealants
Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, rated for the joint’s movement.
