About our coloured sealant in Hunston
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, however well it was installed. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, powder-coated and anodised frames and shop-fit joinery and counters, and what we are called in for most is white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes.

FAQs: Hunston
Our building in Hunston is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hunston, such as City Business Park?
Yes, sites like City Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hunston. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can coloured sealant be used in washrooms and kitchens?
Yes, in many cases. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Hunston can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hunston
On some projects the colour was never agreed. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
If you run an office at a site such as City Business Park, which lies north of Hunston, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

What else we do in Hunston
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. Future repairs can then use the same colour, with no guesswork.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
What Hunston’s businesses ask us to seal
Hunston is within about 3 miles of the coast. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Hunston lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all.
Occupiers with premises at both City Business Park and Quarry Lane Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Refits at hotels like Crouchers Hotel (1.1 miles west of Hunston) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Hunston is about 2 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Hunston is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Portsmouth, some 13 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: PO20 for colour-matched joints. Buildings on Heath Close, Westlands Road and St Leodegars Way are within our area. We also cover Donnington (1 mile west), North Mundham (1 mile east), Runcton (1 mile east), Portfield (2 miles north) and Chichester (2 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Bognor Regis (4 miles east), Selsey (5 miles south), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Rustington (12 miles east), Angmering (13 miles east) and Yapton (7 miles east).
Landmarks near Hunston
Around Hunston, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Chichester High School For Girls and The Spotted Cow Public House and the streets around them.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A sample takes little time compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hunston. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
