Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
About our coloured sealant in Burford
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, so we check what the specified product is made in before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and natural stone and brick, and what we’re called in for most is discoloured joints on a visible elevation and fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burford 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.
Around smaller places such as Burford, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Several jobs near Burford can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Burford
Is Burford too far out for you?
No. Places such as Burford are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Must a hotel around Burford close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included, so one colour reference can carry across every site.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we’ll plan the sample into the programme.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, 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, so agree it with the designer at the start.

Coloured sealant in Burford: the local picture
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Burford. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter. Burford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
For a hotel such as The Highway Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Burford), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Offices and shops close to stations such as Shipton station (4.5 miles north-east of Burford) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Burford is about 3 miles north-west of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Commercial clients in Burford can call on us for colour-matched joints. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, large and small. We also cover Oxford, some 18 miles away.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off in how the finished space looks. For buildings in places like Burford, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
