About our coloured sealant in Scalloway
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: 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, with a sample on site if colour is critical. We work on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and patch repairs in several different colours. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Scalloway is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Scalloway, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs near Scalloway are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.

- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Coloured sealant in Scalloway: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Scalloway. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. For an island location such as Scalloway, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
For a hotel such as Scalloway Hotel (under half a mile south of Scalloway), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Scalloway is in the Shetland Islands. If you are looking for coloured sealant in Scalloway, we can help. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, Scalloway among them.
We take on colour-matched joints across the ZE1 postcode area. For a building on Main Street, Craigpark Road and Meadowfield Road or nearby, we can quote for colour-matched joints. Access to Scalloway is via the B9074 among other routes, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Close to Scalloway, our area also takes in Gulberwick (2 miles east), Hamnavoe (3 miles south-west), Veensgarth (3 miles north-east), Sound (4 miles east) and Toogs (4 miles south-west). Scalloway ranks among the main centres of the Shetland Islands, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings.

What else we do in Scalloway
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes, so resealing protects the finishes as well as the look. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Scalloway, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
Questions about Scalloway
Can you take on a job in Scalloway, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Scalloway included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Scalloway?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Common problems we fix in Scalloway
On some projects the colour was never agreed. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, so someone asks for it to be changed.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
A lasting commercial joint around Scalloway begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Comparing quotes
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check a trial length in real light
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, and resealing restores the look when the time comes.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong; fixing it early prevents rework.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
