About our coloured sealant in Latimer
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you’re dealing with a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Latimer first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Latimer are frequently converted agricultural buildings. 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Latimer, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Phased resealing lets rooms go back into use quickly. We plan around your occupancy.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between from the product’s range.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs across the building.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Latimer, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Commercial premises in Latimer
The area within 2 miles of Latimer holds several hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Offices at parks like Boughton Business Park (to the south-west of Latimer) have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. Offices and shops close to stations such as Chalfont & Latimer station, 1 mile south of Latimer, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

When to call us in Latimer
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Boughton Business Park and Fairview Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Common questions from Latimer clients
Does your area include sites such as Boughton Business Park, near Latimer?
Yes, sites like Boughton Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Latimer. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Must a hotel around Latimer close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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 if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we’ll check it against the product’s range. We will tell you which colour is closest before work starts.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so one colour reference can carry across every site.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
