Coloured sealant in Gattonside, done properly
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: a stone or brick facade shifts in tone from one area to the next. We choose a colour that reads well across the surface rather than chasing one spot, with a sample on site if colour is critical. If you have previous reseals that don’t match the original and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Gattonside it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a job around Gattonside, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Do you need coloured sealant in Gattonside?
Internal joints can stain from cleaning products, spills or mould. Mould that has grown into sealant usually can’t be cleaned out, so replacement is the fix.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
Offices and shops close to stations such as Tweedbank station, 1.3 miles west of Gattonside, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

The east of Scotland, where Gattonside is, gets less rain than the west. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. Gattonside has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Parks like Borders Innovation Park, 1.2 miles west of Gattonside, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. A hotel such as The Kings Arms Hotel (0.7 miles south of Gattonside) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Questions we are asked in Gattonside
Will our hotel in Gattonside need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is Gattonside off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, and resealing brings the look back.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. We’ll show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Gattonside with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
