About our coloured sealant in Surrey Quays
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. If you have discoloured joints on a visible elevation and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, we can help, on powder-coated and anodised frames, shop-fit joinery and counters and hotel bathrooms and public areas alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Surrey Quays, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For managing agents and FMs looking after premises in Surrey Quays, access is normally the first question: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. Once that’s settled, the colour-matched joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Planning a London job such as one in Surrey Quays starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Quotes
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What the job involves on each surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Metallic and anodised finishes are hard to match exactly with sealant. We will suggest the nearest standard colours so you can choose.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between as agreed with the designer.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- A colour that never alters with age
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Quoting for work in Surrey Quays
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
FAQs: Surrey Quays
Is Orion Business Centre, near Surrey Quays, within your area?
Yes, sites like Orion Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Surrey Quays. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will our hotel in Surrey Quays need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
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 typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Signs you need coloured sealant in Surrey Quays
Older sealant changes colour over time. Sunlight, dirt and pollution can darken, yellow or chalk the surface, and an old match drifts. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
Sites a few miles apart, such as Orion Business Centre and Bermondsey Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
