Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Finstown
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across the Orkney Islands. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. If you have weathered sealant that no longer matches and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Finstown from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Finstown, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Orkney Islands. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A sample takes little time. Around smaller places like Finstown, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We show you the closest options in the product’s range for approval.
Cladding panels
Multi-coloured cladding needs a joint colour that works across it. A neutral tone from the range often works best, and a sample settles it.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Where we can, we combine work around Finstown with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need

FAQs: Finstown
Does the sea air around Finstown change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you travel to Finstown on the island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Finstown. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. You’ll see the nearest options at quote stage.
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No, not in every case. We match as closely as the product’s range allows.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration and deal with problems early.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Finstown
Finstown sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Work on Finstown has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Send photographs, a complete list and any colour references first, so nothing is left behind.
For any commercial premises in Finstown, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. For premises around Finstown where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
