Your questions answered
Can the sealant on our Toab premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Do you work on the island where Toab is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Toab included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, 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 is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Coloured sealant in Toab, done properly
Where finishes matter, a white or grey bead in the wrong place stands out. Our coloured sealant work blends joints into the surrounding materials, from powder-coated frames to stone and brick, on commercial projects around Toab. Performance decides the product; the colour is chosen from that product’s range. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are untidy coloured beads with ragged edges and shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Toab, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Toab: 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Shetland Islands. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Natural stone and brick

- Office fit-out finishes
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction.
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 you confirm the choice.
What affects the price in Toab
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Sealant on show in Toab’s commercial buildings
Toab sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. For an island location such as Toab, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. A complete list with photos means one crossing, not two.
Where a joint is on show in Toab, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts.
Toab is in the Shetland Islands. Toab sits inside our coverage and the rest of the Shetland Islands, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 63 places in the Shetland Islands, from busy centres to rural villages.
We cover the ZE3 postcode districts. We also cover Hestingott (1 mile north-west), Exnaboe (1 mile east), Scatness (1 mile south), Boddam (2 miles north) and South Scousburgh (3 miles north) for colour-matched joints. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Toab. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Quotes
