Old Wives Lees: questions and answers
Can the sealant on our Old Wives Lees premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is a smaller place like Old Wives Lees outside your area?
Not at all. Old Wives Lees is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Coloured sealant in Old Wives Lees
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. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. Most enquiries involve fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and colour changes after a rebrand or refit, across natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Old Wives Lees tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places such as Old Wives Lees, the commercial buildings we are 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Surface by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between from the product’s range.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Note which sealant colour was used where
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface over time.
Include coloured joints in a planned maintenance cycle. Replacing them on a schedule keeps finishes looking right over the years.
