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, so we check what the specified product is made in before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. If you have stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, we can put it right, on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in West End, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Working in a Scottish city means planning around loading rules, shared entrances and busy pavements. Give us your access times and any building rules and we’ll fit the work around them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What happens if it’s left?
A mismatched or discoloured bead is a small detail that buyers, guests and clients notice. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Common questions from West End clients
Can you work at a site such as Mid Wynd Industrial Estate, by West End?
Yes, sites like Mid Wynd Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of West End. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a coastal location like West End affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes, in many cases. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas in commercial interiors.
Do you work in West End?
Yes. West End falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

What West End’s businesses ask us to seal
West End is within about 1 mile of the coast. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. West End has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Dundee station, 1 mile east of West End, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Units at places like Overgate Centre, 0.9 miles to the east of West End, are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

Signs you need coloured sealant in West End
Mould and staining discolour coloured joints in some areas. Mould that has rooted into a bead rarely cleans out, so replacement is the fix.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
A hotel such as Shaftesbury Hotel (to the west of West End) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
