FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Clavering
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, exactly as for a standard colour. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you are dealing with white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, we can help. Most enquiries from Clavering start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places such as Clavering, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What affects the price in Clavering
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Clavering can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. A mismatched repair stands out, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
FAQs: Clavering
Does your area include sites such as Funstons Commercial Centre, near Clavering?
Yes, sites like Funstons Commercial Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Clavering. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Clavering?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you cover Clavering?
Yes. We cover Clavering, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
