About our coloured sealant in Barling
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. The enquiries we see most involve old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, on cladding panels, powder-coated and anodised frames and natural stone and brick. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Barling, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Business units in the countryside around places like Barling are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.

Your questions answered
Our building in Barling is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Barling too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Many specifications give the sealant colour as a RAL number. We check what that product is made in.

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Barling can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Doing it in-house
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, rated for the joint’s movement.
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints usually look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range before work starts.
Commercial premises in Barling
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Barling. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Barling lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.
Industrial estates such as Star Lane Industrial Estate (1.4 miles south of Barling) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. A business with units at Star Lane Industrial Estate and Purdey's industrial estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Offices and shops close to stations such as Thorpe Bay station (2.6 miles south-west of Barling) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
