Coloured sealant for Bickley sites

Coloured sealant in Bickley

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, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Let us know who signs off colour, and we’ll fit the sample into the programme. If you have old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, we can help, on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes alike. For commercial sealant work in Bickley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Buildings in a London area such as Bickley rarely close for maintenance: offices with staff at their desks, shops trading below flats and receptions that can’t be roped off for long. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

On site: what to expect

We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in Bickley starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.

  1. Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
  2. Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
  3. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
  4. Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
  5. We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.

Before we start on site

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Agree which areas must stay open

Looking after the joints

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Clean coloured joints with mild products
  • Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
  • Settle the colour with the designer at the start
  • Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints

If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. Wrong-colour patches are obvious, undoing the look you paid for.

Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs across the building.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Bickley

A 2-mile radius around Bickley takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading. Contractor rules in London buildings can be strict, with inductions, permits and timed loading all normal. Our planning starts from those rules rather than working round them later.

In a retail centre such as The Mall, 1.3 miles to the west of Bickley, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. Occupiers with premises at both Chartwell Business Centre and Green Lane Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. For tenants and agents on sites such as Chartwell Business Centre, which lies west of Bickley, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.

Quoting for work in Bickley

These are the things that shape the price:

  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Your programme or deadline
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

When it isn’t the sealant

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
  • Finishes that change colour from one area to another
  • Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant

If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Office fit-out finishes
  • Natural stone and brick
  • Hotel bathrooms and public areas
  • Shop-fit joinery and counters
  • Cladding panels
  • Powder-coated and anodised frames

Bickley: questions and answers

Do you cover business parks and estates near Bickley, such as Chartwell Business Centre?

Yes. Our area takes in Bickley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chartwell Business Centre included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.

Must a hotel around Bickley close while you work?

In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?

Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Do you cover Bickley?

Yes. We cover Bickley and the rest of Greater London. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

Can we see a sample before the full job?

Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.

Owners, agents and contractors

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Bickley can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
