Coloured sealant in Gott, 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. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. If you’re dealing with discoloured joints on a visible elevation and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Gott? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For a job around Gott, 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. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Gott with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Questions about Gott
Is Black Hill Industrial Estate, near Gott, within your area?
Yes. We cover Gott and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Black Hill Industrial Estate. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Gott is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will the colour fade over time?
Some change over time is normal. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure, so no colour stays exactly the same for ever.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What else we do in Gott
Commercial premises in Gott
Gott 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. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Work on Gott has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Colour references and photographs up front let us bring the right sealants first time.
On estates like Black Hill Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Gott, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. A business with units at Black Hill Industrial Estate and Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. For a hotel such as Herrislea House Hotel (1 mile south of Gott), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Gott is in the Shetland Islands. Any commercial site in Gott is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, including Gott.

Just outside Gott, we also work in Veensgarth (1 mile south-west), Gremista (3 miles south-east), Heogan (3 miles south-east), Lerwick (4 miles south-east) and Kalliness (4 miles north-west). Bigger towns within reach include Scalloway (4 miles south-west), Brae (15 miles north) and Sandwick (13 miles south). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Surface by surface
Paintable sealants
Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. We’ll tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
Office fit-outs
Office fit-outs include glazed partitions, kitchens, washrooms and reception areas. Colour-matched joints keep the finish consistent across floors.
Why act early in Gott
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, particularly on high-end finishes. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside, and it lifts the whole area. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:

- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
