Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Shelvin
At about 59 miles from central London, Shelvin is within reach of the capital. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Shelvin. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
Offices at parks like Barham Business Park, 1.7 miles to the west of Shelvin, have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. Offices and shops close to stations such as Shepherds Well station, 1.9 miles to the east of Shelvin, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Shelvin is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Shelvin sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Shelvin. We also cover London, around 59 miles from Shelvin.

Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Shelvin
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites across Kent. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there, particularly where the building’s look matters. If you are dealing with old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames, we can help, on shop-fit joinery and counters, powder-coated and anodised frames and natural stone and brick alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shelvin from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
A job in a smaller place like Shelvin is usually a single building. We’ll want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A short trial bead costs very little compared with replacing joints in the wrong colour. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Shelvin, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Shelvin: questions and answers
Is Barham Business Park, near Shelvin, within your area?
Yes, sites like Barham Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Shelvin. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Must a hotel around Shelvin close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
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 keep the area clear.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches.
What we’re called out for in Shelvin
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
For a hotel such as Broome Park Hotel, 0.6 miles north-west of Shelvin, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

What else we do in Shelvin
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shelvin are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the 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 take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Flag any permit to work we will need
