Common questions from Kensington clients
Must a hotel around Kensington close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will sunlight affect the sealant colour?
Some change over time is normal. Exposure, product and colour all play a part, and we can’t promise a colour that never alters.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Coloured sealant in Kensington
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters, and what we’re called in for most is white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and colour changes after a rebrand or refit. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kensington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For managing agents and FMs looking after premises in Kensington, access is normally the first question: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. Once that’s settled, the colour-matched joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
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.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. Future repairs can then use the same colour.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in Kensington starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What happens if it’s left?
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same across the programme. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Hotel interiors
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best, and a sample settles it.
What we are called out for in Kensington
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
For a hotel such as London Visitors Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Kensington, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Sealant on show in Kensington’s commercial buildings
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Kensington. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading. Kensington has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it.
For premises near Kensington Olympia station, under half a mile to the south-west of Kensington, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Berghem Mews Business Village and Stable Way Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
