About our coloured sealant in Fordham
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on office fit-out finishes, natural stone and brick and shop-fit joinery and counters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs in several different colours and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Fordham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Fordham 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Common questions from Fordham clients
Is Fordham too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Fordham are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fordham, such as Stane Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fordham, Stane Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the colour reference for a quick quote. We plan around trading hours where we can, within our working week.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- A colour that never alters with age
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What Fordham’s businesses ask us to seal
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. Fordham is about 48 miles from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
Premises within reach of Chappel & Wakes Colne station (to the west of Fordham) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. For a retailer at a site such as Stane Retail Park, 2.5 miles to the south-east of Fordham, the joints clients see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving.
Fordham is about 5 miles north-west of Colchester, in Essex. Commercial clients in Fordham use us for work on colour-matched joints. 644 places across Essex fall within our area, Fordham among them. Sites around London have their own page, about 48 miles away.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A mismatched or discoloured bead is a small detail that buyers, guests and clients notice, especially in shop fits and hotels. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it. Older rural buildings around Fordham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.
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.
