About our coloured sealant in Stirches
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you have a run of joints in mismatched shades and weathered sealant that no longer matches, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stirches tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Stirches: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Stirches with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Questions about Stirches
Does your area include sites such as Annfield Business Centre, near Stirches?
Yes. Our area takes in Stirches and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Annfield Business Centre included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Stirches outside your area?
No. Places such as Stirches are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Can coloured sealant be used in washrooms and kitchens?
Yes, where the product range allows. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas in commercial interiors.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Stirches can sit alongside others in a wider programme across the Scottish Borders.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Stone facades and stone interiors vary widely. Colour is agreed on site where possible after a sample if needed.
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 the nearest option is agreed.
Why deal with it now?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off. For buildings near Stirches, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
