Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
Coloured sealant in Shinfield
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you’re dealing with joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and a run of joints in mismatched shades, we can help, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, shop-fit joinery and counters and powder-coated and anodised frames alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shinfield from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Places like Shinfield tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. Each job is modest, yet a joint in a small café needs the same cutting out, cleaning and sealing as one in a city office.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- How accessible the joints are
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
What Shinfield’s businesses ask us to seal
Shinfield sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. Shinfield has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it.
Premises within reach of Reading Green Park station (2.6 miles north-west of Shinfield) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. For tenants and agents on sites such as Thames Valley Science Park, which lies north-east of Shinfield, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. In a retail centre such as Reading Gate Retail Park, 1.8 miles to the north-west of Shinfield, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.
Shinfield is about 3 miles south of Reading, in Wokingham. Our applicators travel to Shinfield for work on colour-matched joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 42 places in Wokingham.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

What the job involves on each surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We show you the closest options in the product’s range so you can choose.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction as agreed with the designer.
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 section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For a site in Shinfield, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it 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.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.

There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
