- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes

Coloured sealant in East Malling
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. We work on office fit-out finishes, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in East Malling, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as East Malling, commercial buildings are usually a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. Each job is modest, yet a joint in a small café needs the same cutting out, cleaning and sealing as one in a city office.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in East Malling
The 3 miles around East Malling take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it. East Malling lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
A business with units at New Hythe Business Park and South Aylesford Retail Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Premises within reach of East Malling station, 0.7 miles to the south-east of East Malling, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically 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. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around East Malling need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.

Questions about East Malling
Will our hotel in East Malling need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is East Malling too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We’ll confirm what’s available for the specified product.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Common problems we fix in East Malling
Colour-matched sealant is normally requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
A hotel such as Hamlet Hotel Maidstone (to the north-east of East Malling) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Why act early in East Malling

Small buildings around East Malling suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Surface by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Counters, display units and wall linings are seen close up. Clean masking and neat tooling matter as much as colour.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Metallic and anodised finishes are hard to match exactly with sealant. We show you the closest options in the product’s range for approval.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh, so keep the area clear.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler.
