About our coloured sealant in Foster Street
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. If you have discoloured joints on a visible elevation and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Foster Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Foster Street 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Wet-area sealants come in colours other than white too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best, and a sample settles it.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact.

Foster Street: questions and answers
Is Foster Street too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Hastingwood Business Centre, near Foster Street, within your area?
Yes, sites like Hastingwood Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Foster Street. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, and resealing brings the look back.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Does the colour affect how the joint performs?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last, whatever the colour.

Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining and deal with problems early.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Foster Street
