Coloured sealant in Plockton, done properly
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, agreed on site where needed. Most enquiries involve patch repairs in several different colours and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, on cladding panels, shop-fit joinery and counters and hotel bathrooms and public areas. For commercial sealant work in Plockton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places such as Plockton is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we are called out for in Plockton
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes, and the joints need to match.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
A hotel such as Plockton Hotel (less than half a mile south-east of Plockton) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
Before you book anyone
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Hotel interiors
In hotels, sealant shows in rooms, bathrooms and front-of-house. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
Office fit-outs
Office fit-outs include glazed partitions, kitchens, washrooms and reception areas. A consistent colour across floors looks deliberate for the tenant.
Questions about Plockton
Is a smaller place like Plockton outside your area?
No. Places such as Plockton 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.
Will our hotel in Plockton need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We check the colour range of the sanitary product specified.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
It can, to a degree. Exposure, product and colour all play a part, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. Where colour is critical, we can agree a short sample bead in a discreet spot. The colour can shift a little as it cures, so it’s worth checking in real light.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Sealant on show in Plockton’s commercial buildings
Plockton sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Being in the west of Scotland, Plockton gets more rain than eastern areas. External joints are sealed on dry days, with some flexibility in the dates.
Premises within reach of Duncraig station (0.6 miles east of Plockton) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For work around Plockton, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint 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.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Request a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
