How we handle coloured sealant in Pratt's Bottom
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface. If you’re dealing with marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, we can help, on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels alike. For commercial sealant work in Pratt's Bottom, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. Once that’s settled, the colour-matched joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- A colour that never alters with age
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Natural stone and brick
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
What affects the price in Pratt's Bottom
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Why it’s worth doing now in Pratt's Bottom
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, especially in shop fits and hotels. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Surface 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.
Brick and masonry
Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. The right colour keeps them discreet.

Questions we are asked in Pratt's Bottom
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Pratt's Bottom?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Does your area include sites such as North Downs Business Park, near Pratt's Bottom?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pratt's Bottom, North Downs Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Planning a London job such as one in Pratt's Bottom starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
