Our coloured sealant service in Medway
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, on office fit-out finishes, hotel bathrooms and public areas and natural stone and brick.
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
What affects the price in Medway
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Fully insured
- One contact handling all your sites
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

Coloured sealant across Medway: the area picture
Commercial buildings across Medway range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in Medway still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. In the parts of Medway near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Gillingham: Shopping centres and retail parks such as Parkwood Shopping Centre, 1.8 miles south-east of Gillingham, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. Shops and cafés around stations like Gillingham (Kent) station (1.5 miles north-west of Gillingham) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Surface by surface
Hotel interiors
In hotels, sealant shows in rooms, bathrooms and front-of-house. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by customers. A sharp, even bead is as important as the colour.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Medway
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Medway. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why it fails
A coloured joint can fail like any other: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. The fix is a full cut-out and a new bead in the right colour.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Medway: questions and answers
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the colour reference for a quick quote. We plan around trading hours where we can, within our working week.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we will plan the sample into the programme.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
