Coloured sealant in The Burroughs, done properly
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured joints on a visible elevation and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, across shop-fit joinery and counters, cladding panels and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Looking for mastic applicators who cover The Burroughs? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Buildings in a London area such as The Burroughs rarely close for maintenance: offices with staff at their desks, shops trading below flats and receptions that can’t be roped off for long. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in The Burroughs as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around The Burroughs
Contractor rules in London buildings can be strict, with inductions, permits and timed loading all normal. Our planning starts from those rules rather than working round them later. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of The Burroughs. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Shops and cafés around stations like Hendon station (to the south-west of The Burroughs) trade from early, so work is timed around them. A hotel such as Hendon Hall Hotel, 0.6 miles north-east of The Burroughs, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
The Burroughs is about 2 miles south-east of Burnt Oak, in Greater London. The Burroughs sits inside our coverage and the rest of Greater London, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
A quote for colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a job in The Burroughs, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about 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.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

The Burroughs: questions and answers
Do hotels near The Burroughs have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Signs you need coloured sealant in The Burroughs
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Different products and batches used over the years leave a patchwork. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Look out for the following:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
Occupiers with premises at both Silk Bridge Retail Park and Brent Cross Shopping Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Comparing quotes
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
What happens if it’s left?
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Setting one product and colour for every site avoids variation. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What you get with us
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Colour agreed before work starts
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Specification-led, product-correct work
How the job changes by surface
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used in a colour chosen from its range.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between from the product’s range.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
