For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

Coloured sealant in Minard, done properly
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites across Argyll and Bute. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Minard it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For work in and around Minard, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What affects the price in Minard
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and masonry
On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. The nearest colour in the range is agreed with you for the elevation.
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, suited to the expected movement.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building near Minard, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Your questions answered
Is Minard too far out for you?
No. Places such as Minard are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Minard?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
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 keep the area clear.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.

A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Minard is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frontage work is booked with a few days’ give for the weather.
A lasting commercial joint around Minard begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. For premises around Minard where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
