Coloured sealant in Fernhill
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you are dealing with colour changes after a rebrand or refit and previous reseals that don’t match the original, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fernhill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Fernhill are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panels
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Office fit-out finishes
- Natural stone and brick
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Why act early in Fernhill
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes, so it’s worth fixing early. Around Fernhill, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter.
For premises near Gatwick Airport station (1 mile west of Fernhill), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

For a hotel such as Marriott Courtyard Hotel (0.6 miles west of Fernhill), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.

Questions about Fernhill
Does a hotel in Fernhill 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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fernhill, such as Maple Business Park?
Yes, sites like Maple Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fernhill. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
The product type decides performance, not the colour. The joint gets the product it needs, in a colour from that product’s range with the same preparation and backing.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Some change over time is normal. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
