About our coloured sealant in Merstone
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. The enquiries we see most involve untidy coloured beads with ragged edges and dirty, discoloured joints in public areas, on office fit-out finishes, hotel bathrooms and public areas and natural stone and brick. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Merstone, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Work in smaller places such as Merstone 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Merstone as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. Wrong-colour patches are obvious, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler.
When to call us in Merstone
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. The fix is a full cut-out and a new bead in the right colour.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
Shopping centres and retail parks such as Newport Retail Park, 2.6 miles north-west of Merstone, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Merstone: questions and answers
Is New Barn Industrial Park, near Merstone, within your area?
Yes, sites like New Barn Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Merstone. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Merstone?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Merstone
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Merstone. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Premises within reach of Shanklin station (to the south-east of Merstone) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Occupiers with premises at both New Barn Industrial Park and Langbridge Business Centre could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
