About our coloured sealant in Matching Green
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and the nearest option is agreed with you. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you have a run of joints in mismatched shades and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on natural stone and brick, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes alike. Whoever orders the work in Matching Green, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Business units in the countryside around places like Matching Green are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Rural sites near Matching Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.

What else we do in Matching Green
Your questions answered
Is Matching Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Matching Green?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Signs you need coloured sealant in Matching Green
Internal joints can stain from cleaning products, spills or mould. Mould that has grown into sealant typically can’t be cleaned out, so the joint is replaced.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
Refits at hotels like Down Hall Hotel, 1.5 miles to the north-west of Matching Green, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
- A colour that never alters with age
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Shop-fit joinery and counters

Matching Green lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
For premises near Sawbridgeworth station, which lies north-west of Matching Green, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
