About our coloured sealant in Headington Hill
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light. Let us know who signs off colour, and we will fit the sample into the programme. Site teams most often ask us about hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and a run of joints in mismatched shades, across natural stone and brick, hotel bathrooms and public areas and powder-coated and anodised frames. Most enquiries from Headington Hill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Headington Hill, commercial buildings are normally 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Quoting for work in Headington Hill
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When to call us in Headington Hill
Internal joints can stain from cleaning products, spills or mould. Mould that has rooted into a bead rarely cleans out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
For premises near Oxford station (1.9 miles west of Headington Hill), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
What the job involves on each surface
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. That only works where the joint and specification allow it because paint may crack where the joint moves.
Brick and masonry
On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. The nearest colour in the range is agreed with you before work starts.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Work in places the size of Headington Hill is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks over time.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent and easier to manage.

Why it’s worth doing now in Headington Hill
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation across the programme. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Is Headington Hill too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Headington Hill are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do hotels near Headington Hill have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. You’ll see the nearest options before work starts.
Can coloured sealant be used in washrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We’ll confirm what’s available for the specified product before work starts.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
