Coloured sealant for Edney Common sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Edney Common are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows

Coloured sealant in Edney Common, done properly
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. We work on natural stone and brick, hotel bathrooms and public areas and shop-fit joinery and counters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Edney Common tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places such as Edney Common, the commercial buildings we’re 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Does your area include sites such as Widford Industrial Estate, near Edney Common?

Can the sealant on our Edney Common premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, 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.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.

- Powder-coated and anodised frames

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in without affecting the joint’s performance.
Paintable sealants
Overpainting is most common on internal joints with little movement. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
