Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Cotman's Ash
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. The enquiries we see most involve fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, across cladding panels, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Cotman's Ash tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
A job in a smaller place like Cotman's Ash is usually a single building. We’ll want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cotman's Ash, such as Chaucer Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cotman's Ash, Chaucer Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Cotman's Ash off your patch?
No. Places such as Cotman's Ash are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. You will see the nearest options before work starts.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Why deal with it now?
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, particularly on high-end finishes. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it, and it lifts the whole area. Halls, stores and units around places like Cotman's Ash may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Advice
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Cotman's Ash
Cotman's Ash sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. Less than 3 miles from Cotman's Ash there are at least three named estates and business parks. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Kemsing station, 1.4 miles to the south of Cotman's Ash, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Occupiers with premises at both Chaucer Business Park and West Kingsdown Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. For tenants and agents on sites such as Chaucer Business Park, 1.3 miles south of Cotman's Ash, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
Cotman's Ash is about 3 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Across the TN15 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
Colours can soften with light and weathering. That is normal for exposed sealant, and resealing restores the look when the time comes.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
Surface by surface
Hotel interiors
In hotels, sealant shows in rooms, bathrooms and front-of-house. Wet-area sealants come in colours other than white too.
Brick and masonry
Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. The right colour keeps them discreet without affecting the joint’s performance.
