Different surfaces, different methods
Office fit-outs
Office fit-outs include glazed partitions, kitchens, washrooms and reception areas. Colour-matched joints keep the finish consistent across floors.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used in a colour chosen from its range.
Coloured sealant in Hightae
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes, and snag any marks before we leave. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured joints on a visible elevation and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hightae tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For work in and around Hightae, we’d rather do everything on one trip: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off in how the finished space looks. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Hightae, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The work involved drives the cost: 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.

Common questions from Hightae clients
Is Hightae too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hightae is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which documents can you supply for work in Hightae?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. RAL references are a common way to specify sealant colour. We check what that product is made in and agree the nearest option.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
The colour doesn’t change what kind of sealant it is. A properly prepared and tooled joint performs as the product intends, whatever the colour.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. Sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product so you can choose.
What we’re called out for in Hightae
Colour-matched sealant is usually requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
For any commercial premises in Hightae, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hightae is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
