Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
About our coloured sealant in Bircholt Forstal
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Kent. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, particularly where the building’s look matters. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, natural stone and brick and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant that no longer suits recoated frames and dirty, discoloured joints in public areas. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bircholt Forstal first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Business units in the countryside around places like Bircholt Forstal are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bircholt Forstal
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation across the programme. For buildings around smaller places like Bircholt Forstal, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

What affects the price in Bircholt Forstal
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panels

- Office fit-out finishes
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent and easier to manage.
