About our coloured sealant in Arpinge
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. We work on cladding panels, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a run of joints in mismatched shades and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Arpinge, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Arpinge are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Questions about Arpinge
Can being near the sea in Arpinge affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a smaller place like Arpinge outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near Arpinge need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.

Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Arpinge can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

What Arpinge’s businesses ask us to seal
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Arpinge. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Central London is about 60 miles from Arpinge. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.

Occupiers with premises at both Concept Court Business Park and Shearway Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. For premises near Folkestone West station, 1.7 miles south-east of Arpinge, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
