Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Do you need coloured sealant in Flete?
Older sealant changes colour over time. Sunlight, dirt and pollution can darken, yellow or chalk the surface. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
Refits at hotels like Hussar Hotel (1.4 miles north-west of Flete) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

How we handle coloured sealant in Flete
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. Site teams most often ask us about shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, across natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Flete tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Business units in the countryside around places like Flete are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in a colour chosen from its range.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We’ll suggest the nearest standard colours.
Commercial premises in Flete
Flete sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The 2 miles around Flete include six care or nursing homes. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms; colours can be chosen to suit the interior.
A business with units at Westwood Industrial Estate and Westwood Gateway Retail Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Offices and shops close to stations such as Margate station (to the north of Flete) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Flete is about 1 mile south-west of Margate, in Kent. If you are looking for coloured sealant in Flete, we can help, as we do across Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. We also cover London, some 64 miles away.

Landmarks near Flete
We work on buildings around Hartsdown Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Margate station, roughly 1.5 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (1.3 miles north-east) and Westwood Cross (1.1 miles east). Not far away are Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. Future repairs can then use the same colour, avoiding a patchwork.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
FAQs: Flete
Does a hotel in Flete need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Does a coastal location like Flete affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. For a building around Flete, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
