Coloured sealant in The Wisp
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: 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. Site teams most often ask us about weathered sealant that no longer matches and fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification, across powder-coated and anodised frames, natural stone and brick and cladding panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in The Wisp it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
The Wisp is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Shop units under tenements can bring the property factor into the picture when the work touches shared parts.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Commercial premises in The Wisp
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from The Wisp. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The area within 2 miles of The Wisp holds plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
Occupiers with premises at both Craigmillar Shopping Centre and Eastern Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Shops and cafés around stations like Newcraighall station, 1.3 miles to the north-east of The Wisp, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

For rail, the closest station is Newcraighall station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Building owners, agents and FMs in The Wisp
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Signs you need coloured sealant in The Wisp
A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme that the sealant has to follow.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
Units at retail parks like Craigmillar Shopping Centre, 0.7 miles to the north-west of The Wisp, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Why it’s worth doing now in The Wisp
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation from one fit-out to the next. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
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’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Questions we are asked in The Wisp
Does your area include sites such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, near The Wisp?
Yes. We cover The Wisp and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in The Wisp is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Surface by surface
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. Colour is agreed on site where possible.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.
What affects the price in The Wisp
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- 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 quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
