After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Merle Common
Coloured sealant work ranges from a new shop fit to replacing failed joints on an existing building on sites across Surrey. When replacing old joints, the new colour typically has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. We work on cladding panels, shop-fit joinery and counters and office fit-out finishes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms. Most enquiries from Merle Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Work in smaller places such as Merle Common tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What affects the price in Merle Common
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What the job involves on each surface
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 we can trial it first.
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. The right colour keeps them discreet while the product still suits the movement.
What Merle Common’s businesses ask us to seal
Rainfall across the South East, Merle Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. Merle Common is about 19 miles from central London. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
A lasting commercial joint around Merle Common begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

Your questions answered
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Merle Common?
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.
Which documents can you supply for work in Merle Common?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Merle Common
Patch repairs in a different colour are a common problem. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints along a shopfront. Resealing a whole run in one agreed colour tidies it up.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
Offices and shops close to stations such as Hurst Green station (1.4 miles north of Merle Common) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Proof of insurance
