How we handle coloured sealant in Tannadice
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and the nearest option is agreed with you. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms. Whoever orders the work in Tannadice, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Tannadice: 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Tannadice can form part of a wider programme.
Questions we’re asked in Tannadice
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Tannadice?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is a smaller place like Tannadice outside your area?
No. Places such as Tannadice are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will the colour fade over time?
It can, to a degree. Exposure, product and colour all play a part, so no colour stays exactly the same for ever.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the colour reference and a fixed quote follows. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We check the colour range of the sanitary product specified before work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tannadice
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation across the programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Tannadice. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Office fit-out finishes
- Natural stone and brick
- Cladding panels
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, 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. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tannadice is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Surface by surface
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. We pick a facade-grade sealant in a shade that sits with the panels, suited to the expected movement.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by clients. Clean masking and neat tooling matter as much as colour.
