Coloured sealant in Gateside
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, so we check what the specified product is made in before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on office fit-out finishes, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Gateside first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For work in and around Gateside, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Sealant on show in Gateside’s commercial buildings
Gateside is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in. Whatever the building in Gateside, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check a trial length in real light
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks over time.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
How the job changes by surface
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.
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.
Commercial clients in Gateside
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Gateside
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, 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 any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For a building near Gateside, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
FAQs: Gateside
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Gateside?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Gateside?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
