How we handle coloured sealant in Kirkpatrick Durham
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we’ll show you the closest options. Most enquiries involve weathered sealant that no longer matches and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, on shop-fit joinery and counters, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. Most enquiries from Kirkpatrick Durham 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 Kirkpatrick Durham 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. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Kirkpatrick Durham clients
Is a smaller place like Kirkpatrick Durham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Kirkpatrick Durham?
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 photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. 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 seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Kirkpatrick Durham
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Patch repairs in several different colours
For a hotel such as Crown Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Kirkpatrick Durham, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Kirkpatrick Durham with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. 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.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
