Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broad Colney are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Coloured sealant in Broad Colney, done properly
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product at quote stage. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we’ll show you the closest options. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured joints on a visible elevation and coloured joints that have cracked with movement. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Broad Colney it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Broad Colney tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
What happens if it’s left?
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, especially in shop fits and hotels. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside. Older rural buildings around Broad Colney move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Broad Colney
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
Occupiers with premises at both Colney Fields Shopping Park and Riverside Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Comparing quotes
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their public liability cover
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant, and resealing restores the look when the time comes.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches.
FAQs: Broad Colney
Is a smaller place like Broad Colney outside your area?
No. Places such as Broad Colney are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Colney Fields Shopping Park, close to Broad Colney?
Yes. Our area takes in Broad Colney and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Colney Fields Shopping Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. You’ll see the nearest options.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel interiors
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around your occupancy.
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, as paint can crack on a moving joint.
