Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Picketts Lock
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. If you’re dealing with a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Picketts Lock it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Picketts Lock, as across the capital, commercial buildings range from converted period premises to recent office and mixed-use blocks, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Brick and masonry
On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range.
Office fit-outs
Partition frames and joinery are often in a set colour. We match from the product’s range as specified.
Common problems we fix in Picketts Lock

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms

Quoting for work in Picketts Lock
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong.

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Picketts Lock close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No, not in every case. We match as closely as the product’s range allows and a sample can be approved before the full run.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
