How we handle coloured sealant in Riccarton
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites in Riccarton. When replacing old joints, the new colour usually has to match what’s already there. If you have fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Riccarton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a job around Riccarton, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Riccarton. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Riccarton
There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Riccarton. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean; colours can be chosen to suit the interior. The east of Scotland, where Riccarton is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Parks like Pentland Gait Office Park (to the east of Riccarton) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. Offices and shops close to stations such as Edinburgh Park station (1 mile north-east of Riccarton) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Riccarton need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is Riccarton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No, not always. We match as closely as the product’s range allows and a sample can be approved before the full run.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. Send the specification or colour reference for a quick quote. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can coloured sealant be used in washrooms and kitchens?
Yes, in many cases. Hotel bathrooms, washrooms and kitchens often use coloured sanitary silicone to suit tiles or stone in commercial interiors.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
