When to call us in Hobbs Cross
On some projects the colour was never agreed, or a different product was swapped in. It seals fine but catches the eye.
Look out for the following:
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
Sites a few miles apart, such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre and Brickfield House Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

Coloured sealant in Hobbs Cross, done properly
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we will plan for it. If you have smeared sealant on stone or joinery and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Hobbs Cross, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Business units in the countryside around places like Hobbs Cross are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Hobbs Cross
How a job runs
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Hobbs Cross can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
What we need from you

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A colour that never alters with age
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Hobbs Cross
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Natural stone and brick
- Cladding panels
- Office fit-out finishes
What happens if it’s left?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off in how the finished space looks. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hobbs Cross, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- CHAS accredited

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Hobbs Cross
Hobbs Cross sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. Hobbs Cross has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it.
For tenants and agents on sites such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre, which lies north-east of Hobbs Cross, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Common questions from Hobbs Cross clients
Can the sealant on our Hobbs Cross premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre, near Hobbs Cross?
Yes, sites like Hobbs Cross Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Hobbs Cross. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you work in Hobbs Cross?
Yes. Sites across Hobbs Cross are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
