Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in North Kelvinside
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: a stone or brick facade shifts in tone from one area to the next. We choose a colour that reads well across the surface rather than chasing one spot. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick, and the failures we are asked to look at most are untidy coloured beads with ragged edges and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in North Kelvinside tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Stone needs a neutral-cure sealant suited to it and a colour that sits quietly against the masonry.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant, and a reseal brings it back.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For premises in North Kelvinside, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
