Coloured sealant for Kentallen sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Kentallen
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve coloured joints that have cracked with movement and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme, on natural stone and brick, hotel bathrooms and public areas and office fit-out finishes. Most enquiries from Kentallen start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places such as Kentallen is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

FAQs: Kentallen
Is a smaller place like Kentallen outside your area?
No. Places such as Kentallen are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can being near the sea in Kentallen affect the sealant we need?
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 you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. We’ll show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. Where colour is critical, we can agree a short sample bead in a discreet spot. The colour can shift a little as it cures, so seeing it in place helps.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial premises in Kentallen
Kentallen 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. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. The west of Scotland, where Kentallen is, gets more rain than the east. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates. Elevations facing the weather usually show failed joints first
A unit on an estate like North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north-east of Kentallen, typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. In hotels such as Holly Tree Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-west of Kentallen, refurbishments usually mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kentallen is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches, so agree it with the designer at the start.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
