About our coloured sealant in Harlow
Where finishes matter, a white or grey bead in the wrong place stands out. Our coloured sealant work blends joints into the surrounding materials, from powder-coated frames to stone and brick. Performance decides the product; the colour is chosen from that product’s range. Most enquiries involve hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour, on powder-coated and anodised frames, cladding panels and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Harlow, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a business or landlord in Harlow with one or two premises, it makes sense to bundle sealant jobs together: say a shopfront perimeter, a tea point, a washroom and some frames. A single fixed quote covers everything on the list.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work 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. Most work in Harlow is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. Your photographs, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints typically look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range for the elevation.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Wet-area sealants come in colours other than white too.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Harlow
Less than 3 miles from Harlow there are at least three named estates and business parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it. At about 21 miles from central London, Harlow is within reach of the capital. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
In hotels such as Park Inn Hotel, which lies south-east of Harlow, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Harlow Innovation Park and Bush Fair Shopping Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Shops and cafés around stations like Harlow Town station (to the north-west of Harlow) trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Leave it or put it right?
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation. In a town like Harlow, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Questions we’re asked in Harlow
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Harlow?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Can you work at a site such as Harlow Innovation Park, by Harlow?
Yes, sites like Harlow Innovation Park are within our area, along with the rest of Harlow. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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 if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
