Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Check a trial length in real light
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
Coloured sealant in Magdalen Laver, done properly
On a finished interior or a high-quality elevation, the sealant is part of the look. We install coloured and colour-matched sealant so joints sit quietly against cladding, stone, brick, frames and shop-fit finishes. Performance decides the product; the colour is chosen from that product’s range. Most enquiries involve dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, on powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Magdalen Laver first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Business units in the countryside around places like Magdalen Laver are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Magdalen Laver
Do you cover business parks and estates near Magdalen Laver, such as Hastingwood Business Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in Magdalen Laver and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hastingwood Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Magdalen Laver too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Magdalen Laver are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Does the colour affect how the joint performs?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. We choose the right product for the joint first and then pick from its colour range.
Will the colour fade over time?
Some change over time is normal. Exposure, product and colour all play a part, so no colour stays exactly the same for ever.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Common problems we fix in Magdalen Laver
Older sealant changes colour over time. UV, grime and weathering alter how a bead looks after a few years. Resealing is the chance to reset the colour.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
On a business park such as Hastingwood Business Centre, 1.2 miles to the west of Magdalen Laver, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Why act early in Magdalen Laver
Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Small repairs at different times rarely match, and the patchwork effect grows. Around Magdalen Laver, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
