Coloured sealant in Sound
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites across the Shetland Islands. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there, particularly where the building’s look matters. If you’re dealing with a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, we can put it right, on office fit-out finishes, natural stone and brick and powder-coated and anodised frames alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Sound tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a job around Sound, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Sound
Common problems we fix in Sound
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes, and the joints need to match.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
Parks like North Ness Business Park (1.4 miles north-east of Sound) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.

FAQs: Sound
Will our hotel in Sound need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Does the sea air around Sound 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. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We will confirm what’s available for the specified product before work starts.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. 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.
Commercial premises in Sound
With the shore within about 1 mile, Sound counts as a coastal location. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Sound has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes.
Sites a few miles apart, such as North Ness Business Park and South Gremista Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. For a hotel such as The Lerwick Hotel, 0.8 miles north-east of Sound, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Sound is about 1 mile south-west of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE1 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, Sound among them.
We take on colour-matched joints across the ZE1 postcode area. Buildings on Quoys Road, South Road and Oversund Road are within our area for colour-matched joints. Nearby places we also cover include Lerwick (1 mile north-east), Gulberwick (2 miles south-west), Gremista (2 miles north), Grindiscol (2 miles east) and Heogan (2 miles north-east). Sound ranks among the main centres of the Shetland Islands, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings. For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.
Local landmarks in Sound
