Coloured sealant in Stenness
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it usually comes late in a programme. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work, and snag any marks before we leave. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve colour changes after a rebrand or refit and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Stenness, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Stenness, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
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.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Stenness, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best and we can trial it first.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Frames finished to a RAL reference are a frequent colour-matching job. We compare the reference with the specified product’s colour range, and you confirm the choice.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Stenness
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Natural stone and brick
- Office fit-out finishes

- Shop-fit joinery and counters
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. A mismatched repair stands out, undoing the look you paid for.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Commercial premises in Stenness
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Stenness. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Stenness is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
For any commercial premises in Stenness, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Stenness is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover Stenness, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Sites close to Stenness are covered too, including Clouston (1 mile south-west), Grimeston (2 miles north), Germiston (2 miles east), Cairston (2 miles west) and Wasbister (3 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

When to call us in Stenness
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
For a hotel such as Standing Stones Hotel, less than half a mile west of Stenness, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.

Questions about Stenness
Does a coastal location like Stenness affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you take on a job in Stenness, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Stenness included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
The product type decides performance, not the colour. The joint gets the product it needs, in a colour from that product’s range with the same preparation and backing.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Many specifications give the sealant colour as a RAL number. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product and agree the choice with you.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
When can you be on site?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
