How we handle coloured sealant in Frating Green
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there, particularly where the building’s look matters. Site teams most often ask us about smeared sealant on stone or joinery and weathered sealant that no longer matches, across office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. Most enquiries from Frating Green 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.
Work in smaller places such as Frating Green tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between as agreed with the designer.
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. We choose from the product’s range and agree the colour with you before the full run.

What else we do in Frating Green
What Frating Green’s businesses ask us to seal

Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. Rainfall across the South East, Frating Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Premises within reach of Great Bentley station, 1.7 miles to the south-east of Frating Green, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check a trial length in real light
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs over the years.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Frating Green can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Questions we are asked in Frating Green
Can the sealant on our Frating Green premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is Frating Green off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you seal on top of existing 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 to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What we’re called out for in Frating Green
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
On a business park such as Plough Road Business Centre, which lies south-east of Frating Green, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

Why act early in Frating Green
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off at handover. Converted and older buildings near places like Frating Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
