When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

How we handle coloured sealant in Chignall Smealy
Where finishes matter, a white or grey bead in the wrong place stands out. We install coloured and colour-matched sealant so joints sit quietly against cladding, stone, brick, frames and shop-fit finishes, for clients in Chignall Smealy. The right product for the joint always comes first, then the colour. Site teams most often ask us about old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, on office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and powder-coated and anodised frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Chignall Smealy it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Business units in the countryside around places like Chignall Smealy are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Chignall Smealy, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

FAQs: Chignall Smealy
Which documents can you supply for work in Chignall Smealy?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Chignall Smealy too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No, not always. We match as closely as the product’s range allows and a sample can be approved before the full run.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. We’ll tell you which colour is closest before work starts.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
