Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks over time.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler for whoever reseals next.
Coloured sealant in Fords Farm
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. We choose a colour that reads well across the surface rather than chasing one spot, with a sample on site if colour is critical. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Fords Farm it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sealant jobs for businesses in a place the size of Fords Farm are often best grouped: shopfront, washroom, kitchen and any external joints done together. That keeps travel and disruption down, and where colour matters on the frontage, we will confirm what’s available for the product.
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.

What else we do in Fords Farm
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Coloured sealant in Fords Farm: the local picture
Fords Farm sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Fords Farm. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme.
On a business park such as British Estates Business Park, under half a mile north-east of Fords Farm, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. Offices and shops close to stations such as Reading Green Park station, 1.4 miles to the south-east of Fords Farm, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. A business with units at British Estates Business Park and Meadway Shopping Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A colour that never alters with age
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to

Commercial clients in Fords Farm
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Fords Farm. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Fords Farm can form part of a wider programme.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved, and we clear our waste as we work. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Fords Farm need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the 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.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like British Estates Business Park, close to Fords Farm?
Yes. We cover Fords Farm and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as British Estates Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do hotels near Fords Farm have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Why deal with it now?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A sample takes little time compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
