Our coloured sealant service in West Sussex

We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we’ll plan for it. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured joints on a visible elevation and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames, on natural stone and brick, powder-coated and anodised frames and hotel bathrooms and public areas.

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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.

The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.

What you’ll pay

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Near you in Crawley

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (under half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (under half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station. A little further out are Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (under half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tilgate Lake.

Where commercial joints are in West Sussex

From Crawley, Horsham and Worthing outwards, West Sussex has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in West Sussex still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. Parts of West Sussex lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.

Crawley: If you have premises on more than one site, say at Denvale Trade Park and Crompton Fields Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. For premises near Crawley station (less than half a mile north-east of Crawley), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Signs you need coloured sealant

Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites

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.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

How the quote is worked out

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

How much there is to seal
The size and state of each joint
The product specified
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, along with the time of year for external work.

What to include in your enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

When you need the work done
How the joints are reached, and at what height
The asbestos register, for older buildings
Whether the building will be occupied during the work

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.

Different surfaces, different methods

Hotel interiors

In hotels, sealant shows in rooms, bathrooms and front-of-house. Wet-area sealants come in colours other than white too.

Paintable sealants

Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.

Honest limits

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:

Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Custom-mixed sealant colours
Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant

Questions we are asked in West Sussex

How long does a typical visit take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

When can you be on site?

The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

How do you choose the sealant?

The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?

It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure.

What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?

The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

Can the building stay open while you work?

Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.

Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?

Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We’ll confirm what’s available for the specified product and agree it with you.
