Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining and deal with problems early.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Kilmartin
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it usually comes late in a programme. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work, and snag any marks before we leave. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Kilmartin, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For work in and around Kilmartin, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Argyll and Bute. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Sealant on show in Kilmartin’s commercial buildings
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Kilmartin. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. The west of Scotland, where Kilmartin is, gets more rain than the east. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates. Weather-facing frames tend to need resealing before the sheltered ones
A lasting commercial joint around Kilmartin begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. In hotels such as Kilmartin Hotel, which lies south of Kilmartin, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Kilmartin is about 30 miles north-west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Anywhere in PA31, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 124 places in Argyll and Bute. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page.
We take on colour-matched joints across the PA31 postcode area, for business premises of every kind.

Different surfaces, different methods
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We’ll suggest the nearest standard colours.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes, so it’s worth fixing early. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kilmartin before they leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Kilmartin: questions and answers
Our building in Kilmartin is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Kilmartin off your patch?
Not at all. Kilmartin is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Some change is normal outdoors. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, which is why exposed joints are inspected and resealed when needed.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No, not always. We choose the nearest standard colour and can agree a sample bead first.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we will plan the sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. RAL references are a common way to specify sealant colour. We check what that product is made in and agree the nearest option.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
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.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas

- Natural stone and brick
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
