Coloured sealant in Scrabster
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light, so seeing it in place helps. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we’ll plan for it. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, cladding panels and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and what we are called in for most is white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Scrabster is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a job around Scrabster, 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. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Office fit-out finishes
- Natural stone and brick
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Do you need coloured sealant in Scrabster?
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints. Resealing a whole run in one agreed colour tidies it up.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
Shops and cafés around stations like Thurso station (to the south-east of Scrabster) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Check a trial length in real light
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Scrabster is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints

Common questions from Scrabster clients
Is a smaller place like Scrabster outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does the sea air around Scrabster change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. We’ll show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range for your approval.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Surface by surface
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL colours often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against what the product is made in, and the nearest option is agreed.
Coloured sealant around Scrabster: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Scrabster. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. A 2-mile radius around Scrabster takes in plenty of hotels. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
For any commercial premises in Scrabster, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Scrabster is about 2 miles north-west of Thurso, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Scrabster, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Scrabster is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
