About our coloured sealant in Rush Green
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled and shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Rush Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Rush Green are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What Rush Green’s businesses ask us to seal
The 3 miles around Rush Green take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it. Rush Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
On a business park such as Horizon Technology Park, which lies east of Rush Green, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. A business with units at Horizon Technology Park and Arlington Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints usually look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range before work starts.
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. We will tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Rush Green are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Common problems we fix in Rush Green
Colour-matched sealant is normally requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
Offices and shops close to stations such as Stevenage station (1.6 miles east of Rush Green) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Rush Green
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Your questions answered
Is Rush Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Rush Green are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Horizon Technology Park, near Rush Green, within your area?
Yes. We cover Rush Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Horizon Technology Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme so sign-off doesn’t hold up the work.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
