New Cross: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do hotels near New Cross have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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 long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. Sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
About our coloured sealant in New Cross
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, even when the seal is sound. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, office fit-out finishes and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and colour changes after a rebrand or refit. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in New Cross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. Once that’s settled, the colour-matched joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Do you need coloured sealant in New Cross?
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place.
Look out for the following:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
Shops and cafés around stations like New Cross station, under half a mile to the north of New Cross, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- A colour that never alters with age
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
