About our coloured sealant in Bitterne Manor
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you have fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish, we can help, on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bitterne Manor from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Bitterne Manor, commercial buildings are normally a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a site in Bitterne Manor, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- 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.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

What else we do in Bitterne Manor
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
What Bitterne Manor’s businesses ask us to seal
With the shore within about 2 miles, Bitterne Manor counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. A 2-mile radius around Bitterne Manor takes in a good number of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Bitterne Business Centre and Itchen Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Premises within reach of Bitterne station (less than half a mile east of Bitterne Manor) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Bitterne Manor is about 1 mile east of Southampton, in Southampton. Anywhere in SO18, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Southampton, 30 places are covered, Bitterne Manor among them.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Bitterne Business Centre, by Bitterne Manor?
Yes. We cover Bitterne Manor and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bitterne Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Our building in Bitterne Manor is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
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 long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you work in Bitterne Manor?
Yes. Sites across Bitterne Manor are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Common problems we fix in Bitterne Manor
A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme that the sealant has to follow.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
For tenants and agents on sites such as Bitterne Business Centre, less than half a mile east of Bitterne Manor, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. That only works where the joint and specification allow it.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between from the product’s range.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- A colour that never alters with age
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
