Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily, so keep the area clear.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs across the building.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Great Bentley
On a finished interior or a high-quality elevation, the sealant is part of the look. We install coloured and colour-matched sealant so joints sit quietly against cladding, stone, brick, frames and shop-fit finishes. Performance decides the product; the colour is chosen from that product’s range. We work on office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and what we are called in for most is colour changes after a rebrand or refit and a run of joints in mismatched shades. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Great Bentley? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Small businesses near places like Great Bentley frequently occupy converted farm buildings. Those conversions put new frames and partitions against old brick, stone or timber, so each joint needs a product chosen for both surfaces.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Why deal with it now?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A short trial bead costs very little compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. For buildings in places like Great Bentley, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

What Great Bentley’s businesses ask us to seal
Rainfall across the South East, Great Bentley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. At about 56 miles from central London, Great Bentley is within reach of the capital. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.
For tenants and agents on sites such as Plough Road Business Centre, less than half a mile to the south of Great Bentley, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. Offices and shops close to stations such as Great Bentley station (less than half a mile south of Great Bentley) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Commercial clients in Great Bentley
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.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Great Bentley need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.

Advice
Common questions from Great Bentley clients
Is a smaller place like Great Bentley outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Great Bentley?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
