What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints usually look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. The nearest colour in the range is agreed with you.
Cladding panels
Where panels vary in colour, the joint colour is agreed for the whole elevation. A neutral tone from the range often works best.
Coloured sealant in Silverburn, done properly
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again. Let us know who signs off colour, and we’ll fit the sample into the programme. Most enquiries involve weathered sealant that no longer matches and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, on shop-fit joinery and counters, hotel bathrooms and public areas and office fit-out finishes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Silverburn it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places such as Silverburn is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Expect some change in appearance over the years. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, and a reseal brings it back.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent and easier to manage.
General trades versus a specialist
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we’ll check it against the product’s range. You will see the nearest options before work starts.
What we’re called out for in Silverburn
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints across one elevation. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Eastfield Farm Industrial Estate and Eastfield Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How joint depth will be controlled
