How we handle coloured sealant in Freemantle
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals that don’t match the original and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick.

In a smaller place such as Freemantle, commercial buildings are typically a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common problems we fix in Freemantle
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Look out for the following:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
For premises near Millbrook (Hants) station (less than half a mile west of Freemantle), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Why deal with it now?
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, especially in shop fits and hotels. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it. Small buildings around Freemantle suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Coloured sealant around Freemantle: what changes locally
Freemantle lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Less than 3 miles from Freemantle there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
In hotels such as The Bedford Hotel, 0.9 miles to the east of Freemantle, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. Industrial estates such as Liners Industrial Estate (to the north of Freemantle) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
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 the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a site in Freemantle, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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 take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Check a trial length in real light
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Liners Industrial Estate, by Freemantle?
Yes. Our area takes in Freemantle and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Liners Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Freemantle too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We check the colour range of the sanitary product specified.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
