How we handle coloured sealant in Northbourne
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, even when the seal is sound. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, cladding panels and natural stone and brick, and what we are called in for most is stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms and shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites. For commercial sealant work in Northbourne, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places such as Northbourne, the commercial buildings we’re asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why act early in Northbourne
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside, and the difference is obvious. Converted and older buildings near places like Northbourne tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- CHAS accredited
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Common questions from Northbourne clients
Is Northbourne too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Northbourne are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Northbourne, such as Pike Road Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Northbourne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Pike Road Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
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 photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Northbourne, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- 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.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
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.

Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we’re called out for in Northbourne
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
Shops and cafés around stations like Walmer station, 2.2 miles to the south-east of Northbourne, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Proof of insurance
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Office fit-out finishes
- Natural stone and brick
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Check a trial length in real light
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
