About our coloured sealant in Shipbourne
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. We work on powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Shipbourne, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Work in smaller places such as Shipbourne tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to bring in a specialist
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Working on commercial sites near Shipbourne
At about 24 miles from central London, Shipbourne is within reach of the capital. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. Shipbourne is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Shops and cafés around stations like Borough Green & Wrotham station, 3.3 miles north of Shipbourne, trade from early, so work is timed around them. A lasting commercial joint around Shipbourne begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in Shipbourne?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Shipbourne?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is Shipbourne in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Shipbourne, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
On site: what to expect
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shipbourne are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Natural stone and brick
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Office fit-out finishes
- Cladding panels
How the job changes by surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL colours often need a sealant to suit. We compare the reference with the specified product’s colour range, and you confirm the choice.
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. It depends on movement and the specification.
Leave it or put it right?
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation. Around Shipbourne, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Quoting for work in Shipbourne
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
