About our coloured sealant in Bures
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Essex. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals that don’t match the original and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish, on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bures first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Bures are frequently converted agricultural buildings. 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 is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bures
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, particularly on high-end finishes. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside. Converted and older buildings near places like Bures tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Common problems we fix in Bures
On some projects the colour was never agreed. It seals fine but catches the eye.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
Shops and cafés around stations like Bures station (to the west of Bures) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Bures: questions and answers
Is Bures off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Bures?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A colour that never alters with age
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
