Why it’s worth doing now in Old Ford
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation from one fit-out to the next. Failed sealant in a building in Old Ford can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Coloured sealant in Old Ford, done properly
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, so we check what the specified product is made in at quote stage. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. We work on cladding panels, hotel bathrooms and public areas and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and smeared sealant on stone or joinery. Whoever orders the work in Old Ford, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, so one job can involve stone, brick, powder-coated frames and laminate in a single visit. Each surface gets its own preparation and, where it’s seen, a sealant colour that sits with it.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Old Ford as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Doing it in-house
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
FAQs: Old Ford
Do you take on jobs in Old Ford where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Will our hotel in Old Ford need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Coloured sealant around Old Ford: what changes locally
There are 21 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Old Ford. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms, often in colours that suit the décor. A 2-mile radius around Old Ford takes in a good number of hotels. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
For a hotel such as City View Hotel, under half a mile west of Old Ford, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Shopping centres and retail parks such as Stratford Centre, 1 mile to the north-east of Old Ford, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter.

Surface by surface
Cladding panels
Multi-coloured cladding needs a joint colour that works across it. A neutral tone from the range often works best and we can trial it first.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction as agreed with the designer.
Do you need coloured sealant in Old Ford?
Mould and staining discolour coloured joints in some areas. Mould that has rooted into a bead rarely cleans out, so replacement is the fix.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
On estates like Old Ford Trading Estate, less than half a mile to the west of Old Ford, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Planning a London job such as one in Old Ford starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
