About our coloured sealant in Seton
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, agreed on site where needed. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs in several different colours and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour. Most enquiries from Seton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places such as Seton is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Work we carry out in East Lothian comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Seton
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Seton. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Being in the east of Scotland, Seton gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Prestonpans station (to the west of Seton) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you run a unit on an estate such as Whin Park Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Seton, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Seton is about 4 miles east of Musselburgh, in East Lothian. Across the EH32 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Seton is one of 48 places we cover in East Lothian. We also cover Edinburgh, some 10 miles away.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- A colour that never alters with age
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panels
- Office fit-out finishes
- Natural stone and brick
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Seton, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Seton affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work at a site such as Whin Park Industrial Estate, by Seton?
Yes. We cover Seton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Whin Park Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. Where colour is critical, we can agree a short sample bead in a discreet spot. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the colour reference for a quick quote. We plan around trading hours where we can, within our working week.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What the job involves on each surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by customers. A sharp, even bead is as important as the colour.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. Sometimes a mid-tone suits better than matching one panel.
Do you need coloured sealant in Seton?
Patch repairs in a different colour are a common problem. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints along a shopfront. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Whin Park Industrial Estate and Mid Road Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
