What Keyhead’s businesses ask us to seal
Keyhead is within about 3 miles of the coast. 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. The east of Scotland, where Keyhead is, gets less rain than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.

About our coloured sealant in Keyhead
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, exactly as for a standard colour. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you have poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and colour changes after a rebrand or refit, we can help, on shop-fit joinery and counters, cladding panels and natural stone and brick alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Keyhead first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Keyhead, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common questions from Keyhead clients
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Keyhead?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Keyhead is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Different surfaces, different methods
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Frames finished to a RAL reference are a frequent colour-matching job. The frame colour is checked against what the product is made in.
Office fit-outs
Office joinery and frames usually follow a colour scheme. We match from the product’s range and agree them before work starts.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building near Keyhead, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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 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.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Do you need coloured sealant in Keyhead?
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
A lasting commercial joint around Keyhead begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
