Coloured sealant in Melvich
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes, and we leave the area clean. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and patch repairs in several different colours, on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Melvich from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Melvich, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. Wrong-colour patches are obvious, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler for whoever reseals next.

What else we do in Melvich
FAQs: Melvich
Does a coastal location like Melvich affect which sealant is used?
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 a smaller place like Melvich outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. You’ll see the nearest options.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- A colour that never alters with age
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel interiors
In hotels, sealant shows in rooms, bathrooms and front-of-house. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.
Office fit-outs
Office joinery and frames typically follow a colour scheme. We choose sealant colours to suit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Working on commercial sites near Melvich
Melvich sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. The east of Scotland, where Melvich is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind
For any commercial premises in Melvich, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. In hotels such as Melvich Hotel, which lies north-west of Melvich, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Melvich (Gaelic: Meabhaich) is about 15 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Melvich. Melvich is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for colour-matched joints.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby.
