Coloured sealant in Walls, done properly
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, hotel bathrooms and public areas and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms. Searching for sealant specialists in Walls? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a job around Walls, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions we are asked in Walls
Does the sea air around Walls change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you travel to Walls on the island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Walls. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we will plan the sample into the programme before the main run.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
It can, to a degree. Exposure, product and colour all play a part, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Why it’s worth doing now in Walls
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A short trial bead costs very little. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Walls
Walls lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Being on an island, Walls means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. A complete list with photos means one crossing, not two.
Where a joint is on show in Walls, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts. A lasting commercial joint around Walls begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Walls is in the Shetland Islands. Walls sits inside our coverage and the rest of the Shetland Islands, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, large and small.
Business premises anywhere in ZE2 are within our area. For a building on New Road, Vagaland and Pier Road or nearby, we can quote for colour-matched joints. If your building is just outside Walls, we cover Easter Skeld (5 miles south-east), Sandness (6 miles north-west), Melby (6 miles north-west), Aith (8 miles north-east) and Kalliness (9 miles east). Bigger towns within reach include Lerwick (15 miles east), Sound (15 miles south-east), Scalloway (12 miles south-east) and Brae (14 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Check a trial length in real light
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches.
Commercial clients in Walls
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
