Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Loaningfoot 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.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
How we handle coloured sealant in Loaningfoot
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on office fit-out finishes, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are smeared sealant on stone or joinery and a run of joints in mismatched shades. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Loaningfoot, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Loaningfoot, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
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.

Questions about Loaningfoot
Is Loaningfoot off your patch?
No. Places such as Loaningfoot are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a hotel in Loaningfoot need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches, so agree it with the designer at the start.
Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. That only works where the joint and specification allow it because paint may crack where the joint moves.
Brick and masonry
On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range.
Commercial premises in Loaningfoot
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Loaningfoot. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Loaningfoot is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days.

If you have premises on more than one site, say at Brasswell Office Park and St. Mary's Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Why it’s worth doing now in Loaningfoot
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same from one fit-out to the next. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Loaningfoot before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
