About our coloured sealant in Lake
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, even when the seal is sound. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, hotel bathrooms and public areas and office fit-out finishes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lake tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a business in Lake, it typically makes sense to put the sealant work into one visit: shopfront, washroom, kitchen and any external joints done together. That keeps travel and disruption down.
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.

For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Coloured sealant in Lake: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Lake counts as a coastal location. 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. A 2-mile radius around Lake takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Lake station, less than half a mile to the south of Lake, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Occupiers with premises at both Spithead Business Centre and Whitecross Business Centre could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Refits at hotels like Melville Hall Hotel (to the north-east of Lake) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Lake is about 1 mile south-west of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Commercial clients in Lake use us for work on colour-matched joints, as part of our coverage of the Isle of Wight. Lake is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight on our list for colour-matched joints. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, roughly 12 miles from Lake.
We cover the PO36 and PO37 postcode districts. Among the streets we cover are Lea Road, New Road and Percy Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. With the A3055 nearby, Lake is easy to get to with materials and equipment. If your building is just outside Lake, we cover Sandown (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile north-west), Queen's Bower (1 mile north-west), Shanklin (1 mile south) and Alverstone Garden Village (1 mile north-west). A short drive away, we cover Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Ventnor (4 miles south-west), East Cowes (9 miles north-west) and Oakfield (5 miles north). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panels
Cladding joints are often seen across a whole elevation. We pick a facade-grade sealant in a shade that sits with the panels, rated for the joint’s movement.
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. The right colour keeps them discreet.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lake
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes, so it’s worth fixing early. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What affects the price in Lake
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Check a trial length in real light
Clean coloured joints with mild, non-abrasive products. Harsh chemicals and scouring can change how the colour looks.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs across the building.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Lake need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- 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.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Lake
Must a hotel around Lake close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is Lake off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the colour affect how the joint performs?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. A properly prepared and tooled joint performs as the product intends.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
