About our coloured sealant in Stichill
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: a stone or brick facade shifts in tone from one area to the next. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. The enquiries we see most involve failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour, across powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Stichill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Stichill, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product

FAQs: Stichill
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Stichill?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is a smaller place like Stichill outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Sealant on show in Stichill’s commercial buildings
Being in the east of Scotland, Stichill gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind
A lasting commercial joint around Stichill begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. A unit on an estate like Rosewood Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Stichill) normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
Stichill is about 14 miles east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Commercial clients in Stichill use us for work on colour-matched joints. Stichill is one of 91 places we cover in the Scottish Borders for colour-matched joints. Our Edinburgh page has more on work in that area.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant, and a reseal brings it back.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs.
Surface by surface
Paintable sealants
Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. We’ll tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
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.

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Stichill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
