About our coloured sealant in Settiscarth
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. We work on office fit-out finishes, hotel bathrooms and public areas and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and coloured joints that have cracked with movement. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Settiscarth 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.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Settiscarth: 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. A mismatched repair stands out, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.

Your questions answered
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Settiscarth?
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’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Can you take on a job in Settiscarth, on the island?
Yes, Settiscarth is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, 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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Is any job too small?

What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
What else we do in Settiscarth
Coloured sealant in Settiscarth: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Settiscarth counts as a coastal location. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The east of Scotland, where Settiscarth is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
Settiscarth is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW17 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
We take on colour-matched joints across the KW17 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. If your building is just outside Settiscarth, we cover Norseman (1 mile east), Isbister (2 miles east), Harray (3 miles west), Bimbister (3 miles south-west) and Finstown (3 miles south).

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Do you need coloured sealant in Settiscarth?
Colour-matched sealant is normally requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
For any commercial premises in Settiscarth, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
