Coloured sealant in Salen, done properly
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. The enquiries we see most involve dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Salen, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a job around Salen, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. 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.

Questions about Salen
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Salen?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Can being near the sea in Salen affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and masonry
Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in without affecting the joint’s performance.
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.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Salen
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Salen. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Being in the west of Scotland, Salen gets more rain than eastern areas. Frontage work is booked with a few days’ give for the weather. Elevations facing the weather usually show failed joints first
Refits at hotels like The Salen Hotel (under half a mile north of Salen) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. A lasting commercial joint around Salen begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

Leave it or put it right?
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same across the programme. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Salen before they leak.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Salen, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Get a fixed quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

However big the job, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
