About our coloured sealant in Marchmont
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 before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. If you’re dealing with failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled and fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification, we can help, on shop-fit joinery and counters, hotel bathrooms and public areas and office fit-out finishes alike. Most enquiries from Marchmont start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
City-centre premises in Scotland often come with tight access, shared closes and loading restrictions. Tell us when the building is open and how we get in, and the plan will follow, phased so offices and shops keep trading.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Marchmont as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- 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.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Advice
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
Questions we’re asked in Marchmont
Will our hotel in Marchmont need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you work at a site such as Blackford Business Park, by Marchmont?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Marchmont, Blackford Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. UV and grime can soften or alter the colour, which is why exposed joints are inspected and resealed when needed.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Why act early in Marchmont
A mismatched or discoloured bead is a small detail that buyers, guests and clients notice, particularly on high-end finishes. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside, and the difference is obvious. Getting access arranged for a building in Marchmont takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Coloured sealant in Marchmont: the local picture
Marchmont sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Less than 3 miles from Marchmont there are at least three named estates and business parks. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
In a retail centre such as Waverley Mall, 1 mile north of Marchmont, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. For a hotel such as Links Hotel, less than half a mile west of Marchmont, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Marchmont is about 1 mile south-west of Buccleuch, in Edinburgh. We cover commercial sites throughout Marchmont. We work across 174 places in Edinburgh, large and small.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Marchmont
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes that the sealant has to follow.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Patch repairs in several different colours
On a business park such as Blackford Business Park (0.8 miles south of Marchmont), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
