Coloured sealant for Greenhill sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
Expect some change in appearance over the years. That is normal for exposed sealant.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
How we handle coloured sealant in Greenhill
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. Site teams most often ask us about colour changes after a rebrand or refit and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, on office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and powder-coated and anodised frames. For commercial sealant work in Greenhill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
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.

Greenhill: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Blackford Business Park, by Greenhill?
Yes. Our area takes in Greenhill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Blackford Business Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Must a hotel around Greenhill close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Many specifications give the sealant colour as a RAL number. We check what that product is made in.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Office fit-out finishes
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Commercial premises in Greenhill
With the shore within about 3 miles, Greenhill counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Greenhill has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean, often in colours that suit the décor.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Blackford Business Park and Russell Road Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. If you run an office at a site such as Blackford Business Park, 0.9 miles south-east of Greenhill, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Offices and shops close to stations such as Haymarket station, 0.9 miles north-west of Greenhill, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Commercial clients in Greenhill
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
From enquiry to sign-off
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. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Stone facades and stone interiors vary widely. Colour is agreed on site where possible before the full run.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best and we can trial it first.
