About our coloured sealant in Orlestone
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. If you are dealing with standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Orlestone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Work in smaller places such as Orlestone tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Commercial premises in Orlestone
Orlestone sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. The 3 miles around Orlestone take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Parks like Meadow View Business Park, 1.5 miles to the south-east of Orlestone, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. Shops and cafés around stations like Ham Street station, 0.7 miles south-east of Orlestone, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Orlestone is about 4 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. We send applicators to Orlestone for colour-matched joints. Orlestone is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for colour-matched joints. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page (46 miles or so).

How the job changes by surface
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. That only works where the joint and specification allow it because paint may crack where the joint moves.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When to call us in Orlestone
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme, and the joints need to match.
Look out for the following:
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Meadow View Business Park and Bliby Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Orlestone: questions and answers
Is Orlestone too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the sealant on our Orlestone premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
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, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Orlestone
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building around Orlestone, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
