About our coloured sealant in Inkpen
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there, particularly where the building’s look matters. Most enquiries involve poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme, across natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Inkpen it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Inkpen 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. If others near Inkpen need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Advice
What else we do in Inkpen
FAQs: Inkpen
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Inkpen?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Will you take on work at estates like Stype Business Centre, close to Inkpen?
Yes, sites like Stype Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Inkpen. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Inkpen
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. Central London is about 60 miles from Inkpen. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
Parks like Stype Business Centre, 3 miles west of Inkpen, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. Offices and shops close to stations such as Kintbury station (1.9 miles north-east of Inkpen) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Inkpen is about 6 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Looking for coloured sealant in Inkpen? We can help. Our West Berkshire coverage takes in 140 places, large and small. We also cover Reading, around 22 miles from Inkpen.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Natural stone and brick
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inkpen
Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match, and the patchwork effect grows. Around Inkpen, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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.
What you get with us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colour agreed before work starts

Surface by surface
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used.
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. It depends on movement and the specification, as paint can crack on a moving joint.
