Coloured sealant for Fordcombe sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How we handle coloured sealant in Fordcombe
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Let us know who signs off colour, and we will fit the sample into the programme. If you are dealing with coloured joints that have cracked with movement and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Fordcombe, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Business units in the countryside around places like Fordcombe are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Fordcombe, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

When to call us in Fordcombe
Older sealant changes colour over time. UV, grime and weathering alter how a bead looks after a few years, so joints that once matched no longer do. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
Look out for the following:
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
Offices and shops close to stations such as Ashurst Kent station, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Fordcombe, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
What happens if it’s left?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A short trial bead costs very little. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fordcombe, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- One number for every site we cover

Coloured sealant around Fordcombe: how the place shapes the job
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. Fordcombe is about 27 miles from central London. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
On a business park such as Speldhurst Business Park (1.8 miles east of Fordcombe), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
Fordcombe is about 4 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants

Natural stone
Stone facades and stone interiors vary widely. Colour is agreed on site where possible after a sample if needed.
Questions about Fordcombe
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fordcombe, such as Speldhurst Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Fordcombe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Speldhurst Business Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Fordcombe?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
