About our coloured sealant in Cliffe
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. If you are dealing with sealant that no longer suits recoated frames and weathered sealant that no longer matches, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cliffe first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Places like Cliffe tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Cliffe
Colour-matched sealant is usually requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
In hotels such as Crown Hotel (less than half a mile west of Cliffe), refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Commercial premises in Cliffe
The area within 2 miles of Cliffe holds several hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Cliffe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.
For premises near Lewes station (under half a mile south-west of Cliffe), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Occupiers with premises at both Phoenix Industrial Estate and Southdown Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Work in places the size of Cliffe is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.

- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Questions about Cliffe
Is Cliffe too far out for you?
Not at all. Cliffe is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a hotel in Cliffe need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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 you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Some change over time is normal. Exposure, product and colour all play a part, so no colour stays exactly the same for ever.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Leave it or put it right?
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation across the programme. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
