Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
About our coloured sealant in Steinis
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, powder-coated and anodised frames and office fit-out finishes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Steinis first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Steinis: 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Steinis, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the 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.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Check a trial length in real light
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
Common questions from Steinis clients
Will you travel to Steinis on the island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Steinis. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Does a hotel in Steinis need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
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.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Commercial premises in Steinis
Steinis 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. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. A 2-mile radius around Steinis takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
A business with units at Parkend Industrial Estate and Gleann Seileach Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

What affects the price in Steinis
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panels
- Natural stone and brick
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
What we’re called out for in Steinis
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.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
If you run a unit on an estate such as Parkend Industrial Estate, which lies south of Steinis, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
