Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Greenigoe
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. Most enquiries involve poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish, on shop-fit joinery and counters, natural stone and brick and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Greenigoe it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Greenigoe: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Orkney Islands. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Surface by surface
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Frames finished to a RAL reference are a frequent colour-matching job. We compare the reference with the specified product’s colour range, and the nearest option is agreed.
Working on commercial sites near Greenigoe
Greenigoe sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Work on Greenigoe has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Send photographs, a complete list and any colour references first, so nothing is left behind.
For premises around Greenigoe where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote. For any commercial premises in Greenigoe, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next.

- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.

Advice
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, and resealing restores the look when the time comes.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. Replacing them on a schedule keeps finishes looking right.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
FAQs: Greenigoe
Is Greenigoe inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Greenigoe is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does the sea air around Greenigoe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme before the main run.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photos of the problem areas
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenigoe
A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes, so it’s worth fixing early. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Greenigoe before they leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
