Leave it or put it right?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A short trial bead costs very little against redoing a whole elevation. Around Hicks Forstal, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Coloured sealant in Hicks Forstal
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, even when the seal is sound. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. Most enquiries involve discoloured joints on a visible elevation and patch repairs in several different colours, on shop-fit joinery and counters, hotel bathrooms and public areas and natural stone and brick. Whoever orders the work in Hicks Forstal, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Hicks Forstal tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- A colour that never alters with age
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Natural stone and brick
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Hicks Forstal
Hicks Forstal sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The 3 miles around Hicks Forstal take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
Shop fits at places like Buddy's Retail Park (1.7 miles south of Hicks Forstal) leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Buddy's Retail Park and Chislet Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Shops and cafés around stations like Sturry station (2.2 miles south of Hicks Forstal) trade from early, so work is timed around them.

How the job changes by surface
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. That only works where the joint and specification allow it.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used in the closest available colour.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Hicks Forstal can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs 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
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Buddy's Retail Park, near Hicks Forstal?
Yes. We cover Hicks Forstal and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Buddy's Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can being near the sea in Hicks Forstal affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will the colour fade over time?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. UV and grime can soften or alter the colour.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
