How we handle coloured sealant in Shandwick
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. We work on cladding panels, natural stone and brick and office fit-out finishes, and what we’re called in for most is dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish. Most enquiries from Shandwick start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Shandwick: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Shandwick
Our building in Shandwick is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a smaller place like Shandwick outside your area?
Not at all. Shandwick is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
Some change is normal outdoors. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

Sealant on show in Shandwick’s commercial buildings
Shandwick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The east of Scotland, where Shandwick is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Premises within reach of Fearn station, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Shandwick, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Shandwick is about 12 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. If you’re looking for coloured sealant in Shandwick, we can help. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Shandwick. Aberdeen is covered too, around 79 miles from Shandwick.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shandwick
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same across the programme. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Public liability insurance in place
- Specification-led, product-correct work

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Check a trial length in real light
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily, so keep the area clear.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
What affects the price in Shandwick
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When to call us in Shandwick
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme that the sealant has to follow.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
If you run a unit on an estate such as Cadboll Industrial Estate, which lies north of Shandwick, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
