Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Abridge

We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we’ll plan for it. The enquiries we see most involve coloured joints that have cracked with movement and white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish, across cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick. Most enquiries from Abridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Abridge tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Abridge

Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. It seals fine but catches the eye.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Weathered sealant that no longer matches
  • Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
  • White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
  • A run of joints in mismatched shades

Shop fits at places like Epping Forest Shopping Park, 1.5 miles to the west of Abridge, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish.

Before you book anyone

  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Abridge: questions and answers

Is Abridge off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Will you take on work at estates like Epping Forest Shopping Park, close to Abridge?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Abridge, Epping Forest Shopping Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Will you come and look before quoting?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

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.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

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.

How long will the new sealant last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

How the job changes by surface

Shop-fit and joinery finishes

Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between as agreed with the designer.

Office fit-outs

Office joinery and frames normally follow a colour scheme. We choose sealant colours to suit as specified.

Our process

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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Abridge can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
  2. Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
  3. The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
  4. Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
  5. We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.

Preparing the site

  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Arrange parking or a loading space

What happens if it’s left?

Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Small repairs at different times rarely match, so a planned reseal often looks better value. Around Abridge, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
  • Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
  • Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors

Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on
