Coloured sealant in Shatterling

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Coloured sealant in Shatterling, done properly

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. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you have marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames, we can put it right, on powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and hotel bathrooms and public areas alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Shatterling is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

In and around smaller places such as Shatterling, the commercial buildings we’re asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Do you need coloured sealant in Shatterling?

On some projects the colour was never agreed, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, and a client or designer asks for it to be redone.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
  • Previous reseals that don’t match the original
  • Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
  • Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish

For premises near Adisham station (3 miles south-west of Shatterling), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

How to choose a sealant contractor

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Shatterling

Less than 3 miles from Shatterling there are two named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Shatterling 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.

If you have premises on more than one site, say at Wingham Industrial Estate and Birnham Farm Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Industrial estates such as Wingham Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles south-west of Shatterling, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.

Surface by surface

Brick and masonry

On brick, the sealant often matches the mortar rather than the brick face. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range for the elevation.

Cladding panels

Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. The colour is picked from the range of a sealant that suits the panel joint, rated for the joint’s movement.

How a job runs

On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shatterling are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
  2. We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
  3. Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
  4. We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
  5. We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.

Preparing the site

  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Flag any permit to work we will need
  • Move anything stored against the joints

Why act early in Shatterling

A standard colour is quicker to source, though not always right. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is typically worth it. Around Shatterling, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Why us?

  • CHAS accredited
  • Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
  • Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
  • Constructionline member for supplier checks

Your questions answered

Can the sealant on our Shatterling premises match the finishes?

Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.

Can you work at a site such as Wingham Industrial Estate, by Shatterling?

Yes. We cover Shatterling and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wingham Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

What do you charge?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

Can the building stay open while you work?

Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Owners, agents and contractors

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Shatterling can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
