Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos 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.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Coloured sealant in Old Town, done properly
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Greater London. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. The enquiries we see most involve hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, on powder-coated and anodised frames, cladding panels and shop-fit joinery and counters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Old Town from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Buildings in a London area such as Old Town rarely close for maintenance: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. We plan the joints floor by floor or unit by unit with the building manager, so areas stay in use, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in Old Town
A standard colour is quicker to source, though not always right. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off in how the finished space looks. Failed sealant in a building in Old Town can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we are called out for in Old Town
Colour-matched sealant is typically requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
In hotels such as Leonardo Hotel London Croydon, less than half a mile north-east of Old Town, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Old Town where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Must a hotel around Old Town close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. We choose the right product for the joint first and then pick from its colour range.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes, in many cases. Hotel bathrooms, washrooms and kitchens often use coloured sanitary silicone to suit tiles or stone in commercial interiors.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Surface by surface
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best.
Paintable sealants
Some joints are better sealed with a paintable product and decorated. That only works where the joint and specification allow it, as paint can crack on a moving joint.
