About our coloured sealant in Bankside
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. The enquiries we see most involve a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Bankside, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Buildings in a London area such as Bankside rarely close for maintenance: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions from Bankside clients
Does a hotel in Bankside need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, near Bankside, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bankside, Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the colour reference. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can coloured sealant be used in washrooms and kitchens?
Yes, where the product range allows. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Planning a London job such as one in Bankside starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and masonry
On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range before work starts.
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. It depends on movement and the specification.
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done

Working on commercial sites near Bankside
There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Bankside. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms. The 3 miles around Bankside take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen.
A unit on an estate like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south of Bankside, usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. In a retail centre such as Brunswick Centre, which lies north-west of Bankside, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. A business with units at Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate and Southwark Bridge Business Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
