Coloured sealant in Old Shoreham, done properly
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a run of joints in mismatched shades and discoloured joints on a visible elevation. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Old Shoreham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Work in smaller places such as Old Shoreham tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We’ll want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Old Shoreham as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

Coloured sealant around Old Shoreham: points for this area
Old Shoreham lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Old Shoreham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
Occupiers with premises at both Dolphin Industrial Estate and Grange Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. For premises near Shoreham-By-Sea station, 0.7 miles east of Old Shoreham, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

What we are called out for in Old Shoreham
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
If you run a unit on an estate such as Dolphin Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles east of Old Shoreham, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their public liability cover
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Shoreham
Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour, so a planned reseal often looks better value. Converted and older buildings near places like Old Shoreham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. It depends on movement and the specification.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Old Shoreham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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 take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Old Shoreham: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Dolphin Industrial Estate, by Old Shoreham?
Yes. Our area takes in Old Shoreham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dolphin Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does the sea air around Old Shoreham change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. A properly prepared and tooled joint performs as the product intends, whatever the colour.
Will the colour fade over time?
Some change over time is normal. Exposure, product and colour all play a part.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. You’ll see the nearest options.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
