About our coloured sealant in Smith's Green
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Standard sealant ranges cover many colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product before we quote. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we will show you the closest options. Site teams most often ask us about a run of joints in mismatched shades and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish, across powder-coated and anodised frames, natural stone and brick and shop-fit joinery and counters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Smith's Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Smith's Green are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Check a trial length in real light
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Common questions from Smith's Green clients
Will our hotel in Smith's Green need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is Smith's Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For a building around Smith's Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Signs you need coloured sealant in Smith's Green
A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes, and the joints need to match.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
Sites a few miles apart, such as Takeley Business Centre and Seven Acres Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
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 and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
