Coloured sealant in Arkesden, done properly
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we will plan for it. The enquiries we see most involve old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, on natural stone and brick, powder-coated and anodised frames and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Arkesden is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Arkesden 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

FAQs: Arkesden
Is Arkesden too far out for you?
No. Places such as Arkesden are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Funstons Commercial Centre, near Arkesden?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Arkesden, Funstons Commercial Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are 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 we approve the colour on site?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we will plan the sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we’ll check it against the product’s range. You’ll see the nearest options before work starts.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panels
Cladding joints are often seen across a whole elevation. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint.
Hotel interiors
Phased resealing lets rooms go back into use quickly. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so rooms return to service in stages.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Arkesden is about 35 miles from central London. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. The 3 miles around Arkesden take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
For premises near Audley End station, 2.3 miles to the north-east of Arkesden, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

If you run an office at a site such as Funstons Commercial Centre, 0.9 miles south of Arkesden, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.
