Common problems we fix in Hillborough
On some projects the colour was never agreed, or a substitute product was used. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
If you run an office at a site such as Eddington Business Park, 2.1 miles to the west of Hillborough, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Hillborough
On a finished interior or a high-quality elevation, the sealant is part of the look. 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. If you’re dealing with old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and colour changes after a rebrand or refit, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hillborough? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Small businesses near places like Hillborough frequently occupy converted farm buildings. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
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.

Working on commercial sites near Hillborough
Hillborough sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. Hillborough has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Eddington Business Park and Chislet Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. Premises within reach of Herne Bay station, 2.2 miles to the west of Hillborough, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

What else we do in Hillborough
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Work in places the size of Hillborough is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
A mismatched or discoloured bead is a small detail that buyers, guests and clients notice. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside, and it lifts the whole area. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common questions from Hillborough clients
Is Eddington Business Park, near Hillborough, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Hillborough and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Eddington Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Hillborough too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the colour affect how the joint performs?
The product type decides performance, not the colour. We choose the right product for the joint first and then pick from its colour range with the same preparation and backing.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
