Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Fordstreet
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites in Fordstreet. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there. We work on cladding panels, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are colour changes after a rebrand or refit and weathered sealant that no longer matches. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fordstreet 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 Fordstreet are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Fordstreet: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Fordstreet outside your area?
No. Places such as Fordstreet 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.
Is Stane Retail Park, near Fordstreet, within your area?
Yes. We cover Fordstreet and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stane Retail Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we will plan the sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Fordstreet are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
