About our coloured sealant in Elmstead
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you are dealing with hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Elmstead start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, which means one visit can cover joints against stone, brickwork, coated aluminium and shop-fit panels. The right product goes on each, in a colour chosen to suit where the joint is seen.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How the job changes by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Counters, display units and wall linings are seen close up. A sharp, even bead is as important as the colour.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. Sometimes a mid-tone suits better than matching one panel.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about 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.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email us.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Chartwell Business Centre, by Elmstead?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Elmstead, Chartwell Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a hotel in Elmstead need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Some change over time is normal. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches, so agree it with the designer at the start.
