General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Coloured sealant in Ightham
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on cladding panels, hotel bathrooms and public areas and office fit-out finishes, and what we are called in for most is fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ightham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Work in smaller places such as Ightham tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We’ll want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ightham are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints usually look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction from the product’s range.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Sealant on show in Ightham’s commercial buildings
Ightham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. At about 22 miles from central London, Ightham is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Bourne Enterprise Centre and Chaucer Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Offices at parks like Bourne Enterprise Centre, 1.6 miles north-east of Ightham, have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. Premises within reach of Borough Green & Wrotham station (1.5 miles north-east of Ightham) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Ightham is about 4 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Ightham, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, large and small. Sites around London have their own page, about 22 miles away.
We cover the TN15 postcode districts. Among the streets we cover are The Street, Redwell Lane and Old Lane. Nearby places we also cover include Oldbury (1 mile north), Ivy Hatch (1 mile south-west), Sheet Hill (1 mile south-east), Styants Bottom (1 mile north-west) and Yopps Green (1 mile south-east) for colour-matched joints. Bigger towns within reach include Maidstone (11 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north), Sevenoaks (4 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south), Gravesend (11 miles north) and Tonbridge (6 miles south).
Local landmarks in Ightham
We work on buildings around Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve, Wrotham School and The Old House, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Ightham Court (1.1 miles north) and Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.3 miles east).
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it, so it’s worth fixing early. For buildings around smaller places like Ightham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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.
