Coloured sealant for Saughton sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it 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.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

About our coloured sealant in Saughton
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites in Saughton. When replacing old joints, the new colour usually has to match what’s already there. We work on office fit-out finishes, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and discoloured joints on a visible elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Saughton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In Scotland’s cities, commercial premises are packed closely, from stone-fronted offices to shops on the ground floor of tenement blocks. Where a shop sits below tenement flats, work on the frontage or shared parts may involve the property factor.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions we’re asked in Saughton
Must a hotel around Saughton close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Saughton?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Do you cover Saughton?
Yes. We cover Saughton and the rest of Edinburgh. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Surface by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by clients. A sharp, even bead is as important as the colour.
Brick and masonry
On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. The nearest colour in the range is agreed with you.
Signs you need coloured sealant in Saughton
Internal joints can stain from cleaning products, spills or mould. Mould that has rooted into a bead rarely cleans out.
Look out for the following:
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
For a hotel such as Twin Lions Hotel (1.2 miles north-east of Saughton), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
What Saughton’s businesses ask us to seal
The 3 miles around Saughton take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints, often in a colour the occupier specifies. The area within 2 miles of Saughton holds plenty of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
