Coloured sealant in Newcraighall, done properly
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you’re dealing with old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, we can help, on natural stone and brick, powder-coated and anodised frames and office fit-out finishes alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Newcraighall, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Newcraighall is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Where a shop sits below tenement flats, work on the frontage or shared parts may involve the property factor.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Questions we’re asked in Newcraighall
Does the sea air around Newcraighall change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Newhailes Industrial Estate, near Newcraighall, within your area?
Yes, sites like Newhailes Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Newcraighall. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
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.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
Expect some change in appearance over the years. That is normal for exposed sealant, and resealing restores the look when the time comes.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler.
When to call us in Newcraighall
Colour-matched sealant is usually requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Patch repairs in several different colours
In a retail centre such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, 1.7 miles west of Newcraighall, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Why act early in Newcraighall
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same across the programme. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. City jobs in Newcraighall normally need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
