Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Tillydrone
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and natural stone and brick, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a run of joints in mismatched shades and colour changes after a rebrand or refit. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Tillydrone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Much of the older commercial stock in Scotland’s cities is sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Tillydrone as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Tillydrone
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a different product was swapped in. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
Sites a few miles apart, such as St Machar Industrial Estate and Kittybrewster Shopping Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match

We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The 3 miles around Tillydrone take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.

If you run a unit on an estate such as St Machar Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the south of Tillydrone, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like St Machar Industrial Estate, close to Tillydrone?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tillydrone, St Machar Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will our hotel in Tillydrone need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long do sealant joints 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.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface over time.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs over the years.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For premises in Tillydrone, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
