About our coloured sealant in Hawkenbury

Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, even when the seal is sound. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. If you have fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and patch repairs in several different colours, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Hawkenbury start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

In a smaller place such as Hawkenbury, commercial buildings are usually a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. Each job is modest, yet a joint in a small café needs the same cutting out, cleaning and sealing as one in a city office.

We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common problems we fix in Hawkenbury

Colour-matched sealant is usually requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.

Look out for the following:

  • Weathered sealant that no longer matches
  • Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
  • Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
  • Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges

For a retailer at a site such as Royal Victoria Shopping Centre (1 mile north-west of Hawkenbury), the joints clients see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving.

What your quote should include

  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Proof of insurance
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
  • How the existing material will be dealt with

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Our process

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. What matters most for a job in Hawkenbury is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.

  1. We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
  2. We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
  3. Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
  4. We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
  5. We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.

Before we start on site

  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Quotes

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Advice

General trades versus a specialist

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Surface by surface

Cladding panels

Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, suited to the expected movement.

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.

Commercial clients in Hawkenbury

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Leave it or put it right?

A failed joint lets in water and dirt, whatever colour it is. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it, so resealing protects the finishes as well as the look. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Common questions from Hawkenbury clients

Do hotels near Hawkenbury have to close for sealant work?

Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.

Will you take on work at estates like Royal Victoria Shopping Centre, close to Hawkenbury?

Yes, sites like Royal Victoria Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Hawkenbury. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

Are you insured?

Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

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.

Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?

Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

When can you be on site?

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.
