Coloured sealant in Dial Post
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. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are smeared sealant on stone or joinery and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Dial Post, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Work in smaller places such as Dial Post tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What affects the price in Dial Post
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Commercial premises in Dial Post
Central London is about 39 miles from Dial Post. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Less than 3 miles from Dial Post there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal; brand colours often come into it.
If you run an office at a site such as Pondtail Farm (Business Park), 2.2 miles to the north of Dial Post, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Questions about Dial Post
Do you cover business parks and estates near Dial Post, such as Pondtail Farm (Business Park)?
Yes. Our area takes in Dial Post and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Pondtail Farm (Business Park) included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Dial Post outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme.

Advice
When to call us in Dial Post
A coloured joint can fail like any other: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
Sites a few miles apart, such as Pondtail Farm (Business Park) and Huffwood Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes. Halls, stores and units around places like Dial Post 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.
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
