Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Star Industrial Estate, by Biggin?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Biggin, Star Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can being near the sea in Biggin affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No, not in every case. We choose the nearest standard colour and can agree a sample bead first.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. Where colour is critical, we can agree a short sample bead in a discreet spot. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
Coloured sealant in Biggin, done properly
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, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you’re dealing with old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Biggin is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Work in smaller places such as Biggin tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour, so a planned reseal often looks better value. Older rural buildings around Biggin move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Commercial clients in Biggin
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Biggin. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
What Biggin’s businesses ask us to seal
With the shore within about 2 miles, Biggin counts as a coastal location. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Tilbury Town station, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Biggin, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Star Industrial Estate and Coward Trading Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Biggin
A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Star Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north of Biggin) need neat joints where customers see them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Rural sites near Biggin may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
