How we handle coloured sealant in Houbie
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, hotel bathrooms and public areas and cladding panels, and what we are called in for most is joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and discoloured joints on a visible elevation. For commercial sealant work in Houbie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For work in and around Houbie, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs near Houbie are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Houbie
Houbie lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Houbie is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
For any commercial premises in Houbie, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Houbie is in the Shetland Islands. We cover Houbie and the rest of the Shetland Islands, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, large and small.
Anyone looking for coloured sealant in ZE2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Close to Houbie, our area also takes in Clivocast (6 miles north), Aywick (6 miles south-west), Mid Yell (7 miles west), Camb (7 miles west) and Burravoe (9 miles south-west).

FAQs: Houbie
Will you travel to Houbie on the island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Houbie. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can the sealant on our Houbie premises match the finishes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
What else we do in Houbie
What we’re called out for in Houbie
Patch repairs in a different colour are a common problem. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints across one elevation. Resealing a whole run in one agreed colour tidies it up.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Proof of insurance
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Note which sealant colour was used where
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration and deal with problems early.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panels
Cladding joints are often seen across a whole elevation. We pick a facade-grade sealant in a shade that sits with the panels, suited to the expected movement.
Brick and masonry
Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
