Coloured sealant across Hoswick

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Coloured sealant in Hoswick, done properly

Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. We choose a colour that reads well across the surface rather than chasing one spot. If you have white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Hoswick, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Travel to smaller places such as Hoswick is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house

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 easy to get wrong without experience.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods

Brick and masonry

Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in without affecting the joint’s performance.

Paintable sealants

Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.

Our process

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Hoswick. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

  1. The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
  2. Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
  3. A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
  4. We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
  5. The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.

Getting the site ready

  • Send your site hours and access windows

How the quote is worked out

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • The product specified
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • The postcode of the building
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Access details, including height

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.

Aftercare for building managers

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

  • Record the product and colour reference on the building file
  • Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
  • Standardise colours across a portfolio
  • Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification

Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily.

Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs over the years.

Sealant on show in Hoswick’s commercial buildings

Hoswick is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Island jobs, Hoswick among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Colour references and photos up front let us bring the right sealants first time.

For any commercial premises in Hoswick, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. For premises around Hoswick where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.

Hoswick is about 11 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE2, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, Hoswick among them.

Commercial sites across ZE2 are covered. Buildings on Greenfield Road and Brakefield Road are within our area for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Sandwick (1 mile east), Levenwick (2 miles south), Bigton (3 miles south-west), Mail (3 miles north) and Bremirehoull (3 miles north) for colour-matched joints. A short drive away, we cover Lerwick (11 miles north), Sound (11 miles north) and Scalloway (10 miles north). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Questions about Hoswick

Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Hoswick?

Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.

Will you travel to Hoswick on the island?

Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Hoswick. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

When can you be on site?

Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?

Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.

How much does the work cost?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.

Why act early in Hoswick

Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Hoswick, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
