Different surfaces, different methods
Office fit-outs
In offices, sealant appears at partitions, tea points, washrooms and reception desks. Colour-matched joints keep the finish consistent across floors.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by customers. A sharp, even bead is as important as the colour.
Coloured sealant in Ivy Chimneys
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work, and we leave the area clean. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve discoloured joints on a visible elevation and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, on cladding panels, powder-coated and anodised frames and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ivy Chimneys? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Business units in the countryside around places like Ivy Chimneys are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Ivy Chimneys
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For work around Ivy Chimneys, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. Wrong-colour patches are obvious.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs over the years.
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them

Commercial premises in Ivy Chimneys
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Ivy Chimneys. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading. Ivy Chimneys sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.

If you have premises on more than one site, say at Hobbs Cross Business Centre and Brickfield House Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Refits at hotels like The Bell Hotel (to the north-west of Ivy Chimneys) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

FAQs: Ivy Chimneys
Is Hobbs Cross Business Centre, near Ivy Chimneys, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Ivy Chimneys and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do hotels near Ivy Chimneys have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Natural stone and brick

Why act early in Ivy Chimneys
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 at handover. Around Ivy Chimneys, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
