Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building around Rake, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Advice
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Rake
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, even when the seal is sound. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. If you are dealing with previous reseals that don’t match the original and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Rake it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Work in smaller places such as Rake tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering

- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between from the product’s range.
Cladding panels
Cladding joints are often seen across a whole elevation. We pick a facade-grade sealant in a shade that sits with the panels.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Cost factors for colour-matched joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong, so agree it with the designer at the start.
Commercial premises in Rake
Rake has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Rake. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal; brand colours often come into it.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Liss station (to the west of Rake) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

On a business park such as Ham Barn Business Park, which lies north-west of Rake, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

FAQs: Rake
Is Ham Barn Business Park, near Rake, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Rake and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ham Barn Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will our hotel in Rake need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. Many specifications give the sealant colour as a RAL number. We check what that product is made in and agree the nearest option.
