How we handle coloured sealant in Gremista
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. If you have patch repairs in several different colours and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Gremista from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Gremista, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Gremista
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Gremista. 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. Less than 3 miles from Gremista there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate and Black Hill Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Refits at hotels like The Shetland Hotel, 0.6 miles south of Gremista, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. If you run a unit on an estate such as Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate, under half a mile south-west of Gremista, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Gremista is about 1 mile north of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Gremista can call on us for colour-matched joints, as part of our coverage of the Shetland Islands. We work across 63 places in the Shetland Islands, large and small.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gremista
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Gremista. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Quoting for work in Gremista
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Where we can, we combine work around Gremista with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

How the job changes by surface
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. We choose from the product’s range and agree the colour with you after a sample if needed.
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. It depends on movement and the specification, as paint can crack on a moving joint.

Questions about Gremista
Will you take on work at estates like Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate, close to Gremista?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Gremista, Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Our building in Gremista is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes, where the product range allows. Hotel bathrooms, washrooms and kitchens often use coloured sanitary silicone to suit tiles or stone in commercial interiors.
Do you cover Gremista?
Yes. We take on work across Gremista, with one number for every area we cover.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. We will tell you which colour is closest before work starts.
