About our coloured sealant in Lauder
Where finishes matter, a white or grey bead in the wrong place stands out. Our coloured sealant work blends joints into the surrounding materials, from powder-coated frames to stone and brick, for clients in Lauder. The right product for the joint always comes first, then the colour. If you are dealing with dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Lauder, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For work in and around Lauder, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. It depends on movement and the specification because paint may crack where the joint moves.
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in a colour chosen from its range.
Common problems we fix in Lauder
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
Offices and shops close to stations such as Stow station, 5 miles to the south-west of Lauder, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong.
Questions about Lauder
Is Lauder too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Lauder?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
