Coloured sealant in The Hummicks
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. 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 old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and sealant that no longer suits recoated frames, on office fit-out finishes, shop-fit joinery and counters and natural stone and brick. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in The Hummicks from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Work in smaller places such as The Hummicks tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We’ll want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. Future repairs can then use the same colour.
Make sure every contractor knows which sealant and colour are on the building file. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around The Hummicks, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready

Shops, offices and hotels in and around The Hummicks
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from The Hummicks. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The area within 2 miles of The Hummicks holds a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
A business with units at Hardley Industrial Estate and Glenmore Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. A hotel such as Montagu Arms Hotel (0.9 miles west of The Hummicks) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. A unit on an estate like Hardley Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the north-east of The Hummicks, typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.

Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel interiors
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around your occupancy so rooms return to service in stages.
Cladding panels
Panel joints form a grid on the facade, so colour matters. We pick a facade-grade sealant in a shade that sits with the panels, rated for the joint’s movement.
Common questions from The Hummicks clients
Does a hotel in The Hummicks need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you work at a site such as Hardley Industrial Estate, by The Hummicks?
Yes. Our area takes in The Hummicks and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hardley Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. We’ll tell you which colour is closest at quote stage.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No. An exact bespoke match isn’t something we can promise. We’ll show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range so you can choose.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
