About our coloured sealant in West End
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. If you have old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and a run of joints in mismatched shades, we can put it right, on office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and natural stone and brick alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in West End is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Scotland’s cities, commercial premises are packed closely, from stone-fronted offices to shops on the ground floor of tenement blocks. Shop units under tenements can bring the property factor into the picture when the work touches shared parts.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. West End can form part of a wider programme across Aberdeen.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in while the product still suits the movement.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We show you the closest options in the product’s range.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface over time.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in West End, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Common problems we fix in West End
A coloured joint can fail like any other: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. The fix is a full cut-out and a new bead in the right colour.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
Offices and shops close to stations such as Aberdeen station, 1.6 miles to the east of West End, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in West End
West End sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. The 3 miles around West End take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Shop fits at places like Garthdee Retail Park, 1.1 miles to the south-east of West End, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish. A hotel such as Earl's Court Hotel, under half a mile to the north-west of West End, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

West End: questions and answers
Does a hotel in West End need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is Garthdee Retail Park, near West End, within your area?
Yes. We cover West End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Garthdee Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No, not in every case. We choose the nearest standard colour and a sample can be approved before the full run.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. We choose the right product for the joint first and then pick from its colour range.
