Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For a building near Symbister, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Getting the site ready

About our coloured sealant in Symbister
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. We work on cladding panels, powder-coated and anodised frames and natural stone and brick, and what we are called in for most is old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Symbister first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places such as Symbister is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Office fit-outs
Office joinery and frames typically follow a colour scheme. We match from the product’s range and agree them before work starts.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between from the product’s range.

Working on commercial sites near Symbister
Symbister lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Work on Symbister has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
Where a joint is on show in Symbister, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts. A lasting commercial joint around Symbister begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

Common questions from Symbister clients
Can being near the sea in Symbister affect the sealant we need?
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.
Will you travel to Symbister on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Symbister included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
