About coloured sealant in Portsmouth

A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on cladding panels, powder-coated and anodised frames and shop-fit joinery and counters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are untidy coloured beads with ragged edges and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames.

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors.

We confirm the joint type and the product it 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.
Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.

Commercial premises across Portsmouth

In Portsmouth, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Southsea, Milton and Landport. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.

The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in Portsmouth still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up. Coastal places in Portsmouth often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.

Portsmouth: Offices and shops close to stations such as Fratton station, 0.9 miles to the south of Portsmouth, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Refits at hotels like The Avenue Hotel, 1 mile to the north of Portsmouth, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

Commercial clients in Portsmouth

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Portsmouth. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Why act early?

A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same.

What your quote should include

Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
The named product and why it was chosen
What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Looking after the joints

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:

Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Standardise colours across a portfolio
Look at the cured colour before the full run
Keep the area clear while the sealant cures

Don’t let anyone patch a coloured joint with whatever sealant is to hand. A mismatched repair stands out.

Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler.

What affects the price in Portsmouth

These are the things that shape the price:

The total length or number of joints
Any access equipment needed
Location, for remote and island sites
Site requirements such as inductions and permits

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Details that help us quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

What the building is and how it’s used
Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The product your specification calls for

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

When to bring in a specialist

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.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

FAQs: Portsmouth

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?

Some change over time is normal. Exposure, product and colour all play a part.

Does the colour affect how the joint performs?

The colour doesn’t change what kind of sealant it is. A properly prepared and tooled joint performs as the product intends, whatever the colour.

Can you send site paperwork?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

What hours do you work?

Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?

Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We check the colour range of the sanitary product specified.

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.
