About our coloured sealant in Cheriton
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. We work on office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and what we’re called in for most is white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Cheriton tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Cheriton, commercial buildings are usually 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.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Coloured sealant in Cheriton: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Cheriton. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Cheriton is about 61 miles from central London. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
A business with units at Golden Valley Shopping Centre and Shorncliffe Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Shops and cafés around stations like Folkestone West station (0.6 miles south-east of Cheriton) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Cheriton is about 1 mile west of Folkestone, in Kent. If you are looking for coloured sealant in Cheriton, we can help, as we do across Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area (58 miles or so).

Signs you need coloured sealant in Cheriton
Mould and staining discolour coloured joints in some areas. Mould that has grown into sealant normally can’t be cleaned out, so replacement is the fix.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
For a retailer at a site such as Golden Valley Shopping Centre (under half a mile south of Cheriton), the joints customers see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a site in Cheriton, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs across the building.
Commercial clients in Cheriton
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Cheriton: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Cheriton change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do hotels near Cheriton have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
The colour doesn’t change what kind of sealant it is. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the colour reference for a quick quote. We plan around trading hours where we can, within our working week.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We check the colour range of the sanitary product specified and agree it with you.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
