How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. For a site in Thanington, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space

How we handle coloured sealant in Thanington
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, so we check what the specified product is made in. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. Site teams most often ask us about a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames, across powder-coated and anodised frames, cladding panels and office fit-out finishes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Thanington, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Thanington, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Those conversions put new frames and partitions against old brick, stone or timber, so each joint needs a product chosen for both surfaces.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Thanington
Exposure takes its toll on colour. UV, grime and weathering alter how a bead looks after a few years. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
Look out for the following:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
On estates like Wincheap Industrial Estate (0.7 miles north-east of Thanington), the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cladding panels
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
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 and we can trial it first.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler for whoever reseals next.
