Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Penicuik
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Midlothian. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. If you are dealing with joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Penicuik? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In Penicuik, as across Scotland, outside joints are planned around the weather: faces must be dry and within the temperature limits on the product data sheet, so we keep a little slack in the programme. Internal joints in washrooms, kitchens and fit-outs aren’t affected and can go ahead on wet days.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common questions from Penicuik clients
Do hotels near Penicuik have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Penicuik?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Doing it in-house
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What affects the price in Penicuik
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.
Office fit-outs
Office joinery and frames typically follow a colour scheme. We match from the product’s range and agree them before work starts.
What we are called out for in Penicuik
On some projects the colour was never agreed. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, so someone asks for it to be changed.
Look out for the following:
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
Occupiers with premises at both Eastfield Industrial Estate and Eastfield Farm Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
