Our coloured sealant service in Kent

A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, 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, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered sealant that no longer matches and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish.

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

  1. We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
  2. Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
  3. A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
  4. We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
  5. We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.

How we quote

Landmarks near Maidstone

We work on buildings around Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church, among other places. You will also find River Len LNR (less than half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (under half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). The nearest railway station is Maidstone West station, roughly 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Maidstone Carriage Museum (less than half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). For a walk, there’s Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

Shops, offices and hotels in Kent

Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in Kent still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. On the coastal side of Kent, sea-facing elevations typically show failed joints first.

Maidstone: For tenants and agents on sites such as Tovil Green Business Park, 0.9 miles south-west of Maidstone, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. Premises within reach of Maidstone West station, 0.6 miles north-west of Maidstone, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

When it isn’t the sealant

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:

  • Repairing damaged frames or cladding
  • Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
  • Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range

What sets the cost

The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:

  • The product specified
  • Phasing around occupants
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • How much there is to seal

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.

What we need to price the job

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:

  • The site address and postcode
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Why deal with it now?

Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match, and the patchwork effect grows.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Aftercare for building managers

After handover, these steps help:

  • Standardise colours across a portfolio
  • Check a trial length in real light
  • Keep the colour details for future repairs
  • Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant

Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant.

Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.

Different surfaces, different methods

Cladding panels

Multi-coloured cladding needs a joint colour that works across it. Sometimes a mid-tone suits better than matching one panel and we can trial it first.

Natural stone

Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.

Your questions answered

What’s the quickest route to 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 photographs and a postcode.

Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?

Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. 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 does a job like this take?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

Can you work to a RAL reference?

Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. We will tell you which colour is closest at quote stage.

Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?

No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. We’ll show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range.

Will the colour fade over time?

It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure, so no colour stays exactly the same for ever.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
