When something else is needed

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • A colour that never alters with age
  • Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
  • Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant

If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work in Shieldhall

Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Shieldhall

Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites across Renfrewshire. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there, particularly where the building’s look matters. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Shieldhall it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

For a job around Shieldhall, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Do you need coloured sealant in Shieldhall?

A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme, and the joints need to match.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
  • A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
  • Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
  • Previous reseals that don’t match the original

Offices and shops close to stations such as Hillington West station, 0.8 miles to the south of Shieldhall, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Why it’s worth doing now in Shieldhall

Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour, and the patchwork effect grows. For buildings near Shieldhall, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Doing it in-house

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Sealant on show in Shieldhall’s commercial buildings

Shieldhall is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little. Shopfronts and frames facing the prevailing weather are where failures show first There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Shieldhall. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms.

In a retail centre such as Braehead Shopping Centre, 0.6 miles north of Shieldhall, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.

Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?

It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Do you match sealant to RAL colours?

Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. We will tell you which colour is closest before work starts.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

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.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Shieldhall is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

  1. First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
  2. We compare the target colour with the colours available.
  3. You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
  4. The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
  5. We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
  6. Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.

Getting the site ready

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
