Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used

Coloured sealant in Preston, done properly
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and you approve the choice. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. We work on natural stone and brick, powder-coated and anodised frames and shop-fit joinery and counters, and what we’re called in for most is fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and coloured joints that have cracked with movement. Most enquiries from Preston start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, which means one visit can cover joints against stone, brickwork, coated aluminium and shop-fit panels. Each surface gets its own preparation and, where it’s seen, a sealant colour that sits with it.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Preston
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Preston. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Preston. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
Parks like East Lane Business Park (0.5 miles south-west of Preston) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. Offices and shops close to stations such as South Kenton station (to the west of Preston) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

The closest station to Preston is South Kenton station, roughly 0.6 miles west of the centre.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In Preston, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
Common problems we fix in Preston
On some projects the colour was never agreed. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Occupiers with premises at both East Lane Business Park and Stadium Retail Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

Common questions from Preston clients
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you take on work at estates like East Lane Business Park, close to Preston?
Yes. We cover Preston and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as East Lane Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
Some change over time is normal. Exposure, product and colour all play a part.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s far cheaper to approve a sample than to strip and redo a full run. A sample takes little time compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. In Preston, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
