What we’re called out for in Pitkerro
On some projects the colour was never agreed. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
Offices and shops close to stations such as Dundee station (to the south-west of Pitkerro) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Pitkerro
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes, and snag any marks before we leave. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Most enquiries involve hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms, on shop-fit joinery and counters, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. For commercial sealant work in Pitkerro, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
City-centre premises in Scotland often come with tight access, shared closes and loading restrictions. Give us your access times and any building rules and we will fit the work around them, phased so offices and shops keep trading.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong.

Common questions from Pitkerro clients
Must a hotel around Pitkerro close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Does your area include sites such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre, near Pitkerro?
Yes, sites like Happyhillock Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Pitkerro. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We will confirm what’s available for the specified product before work starts.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Coloured sealant around Pitkerro: what changes locally
