On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For work around Printstile, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photos of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits

How we handle coloured sealant in Printstile
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. Site teams most often ask us about old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, on natural stone and brick, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Printstile, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Printstile are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Printstile
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same across the programme. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Printstile. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

Do you need coloured sealant in Printstile?
A coloured joint can fail like any other: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. The fix is a full cut-out and a new bead in the right colour.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
Offices and shops close to stations such as Leigh (Kent) station, 1.7 miles to the north of Printstile, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- How joint depth will be controlled
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Printstile
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Cladding panels
- Natural stone and brick
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panels
Cladding joints are often seen across a whole elevation. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, rated for the joint’s movement.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction from the product’s range.
Questions about Printstile
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Printstile?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is Printstile too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
What Printstile’s businesses ask us to seal
Rainfall across the South East, Printstile included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. Printstile is about 26 miles from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
On a business park such as Speldhurst Business Park, 1.7 miles to the south of Printstile, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. In hotels such as The Leicester Arms Hotel (1.4 miles west of Printstile), refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Printstile is about 3 miles north-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Anywhere in TN3, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page.
