Coloured sealant for Fordoun sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How we handle coloured sealant in Fordoun
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Aberdeenshire. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, natural stone and brick and office fit-out finishes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Fordoun first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For work in and around Fordoun, we’d rather do everything on one trip: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Frames finished to a RAL reference are a frequent colour-matching job. The frame colour is checked against what the product is made in, and the nearest option is agreed.
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.
Sealant on show in Fordoun’s commercial buildings
The east of Scotland, where Fordoun is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
A lasting commercial joint around Fordoun begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. For premises near Laurencekirk station, 3.2 miles to the south-west of Fordoun, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Fordoun is about 11 miles north of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Fordoun can call on us for colour-matched joints. We work across 179 places in Aberdeenshire. Aberdeen is covered too, some 22 miles away.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Fordoun, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.

- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.

Advice
Also in Fordoun
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
Questions about Fordoun
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Fordoun?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the sealant on our Fordoun premises match the finishes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What happens if it’s left?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is usually worth it in how the finished space looks. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Fordoun, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
