Coloured sealant in Ratley
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
About our coloured sealant in Ratley
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, particularly where the building’s look matters. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels, and what we are called in for most is marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ratley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Ratley tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

When to call us in Ratley
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. It seals fine but catches the eye.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
A lasting commercial joint around Ratley begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Counters, display units and wall linings are seen close up. Clean masking and neat tooling matter as much as colour.
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 area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. If others near Ratley need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

If you run an office at a site such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park (2.1 miles south of Ratley), the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

FAQs: Ratley
Do you cover business parks and estates near Ratley, such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Ratley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant on our Ratley premises match the finishes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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.
