What the job involves on each surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Frames finished to a RAL reference are a frequent colour-matching job. We compare the reference with the specified product’s colour range, and the nearest option is agreed.
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.
About our coloured sealant in Emmer Green
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites across Reading. When replacing old joints, the new colour usually has to match what’s already there. Most enquiries involve a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, across powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Emmer Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Places like Emmer Green tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match, and the patchwork effect grows. In a smaller place such as Emmer Green, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
See our cost guide and how we’re accredited.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface over time.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done

Common questions from Emmer Green clients
Is Emmer Green off your patch?
Not at all. Emmer Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must a hotel around Emmer Green close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Will you quote for a small job?
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.
Is coloured sealant weaker than white?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. The joint gets the product it needs, in a colour from that product’s range, installed in exactly the same way.
