About our coloured sealant in Thorington Street
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Faces are prepared, depth is fixed with rod and the bead is tooled onto two sides only. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you are dealing with joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and previous reseals that don’t match the original, we can help, on shop-fit joinery and counters, natural stone and brick and hotel bathrooms and public areas alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Thorington Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places such as Thorington Street, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.

How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Thorington Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A colour that never alters with age
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Natural stone and brick
- Office fit-out finishes
Why deal with it now?
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is typically worth it in how the finished space looks. Converted and older buildings near places like Thorington Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Common problems we fix in Thorington Street
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a different product was swapped in. It seals fine but catches the eye.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
On a business park such as Langham Barns Business Centre, which lies south of Thorington Street, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

Common questions from Thorington Street clients
Is Thorington Street too far out for you?
Not at all. Thorington Street is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Langham Barns Business Centre, by Thorington Street?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Thorington Street, Langham Barns Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. Shop fits, hotels and office fit-outs are a regular part of our work. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we’ll check it against the product’s range. You will see the nearest options at quote stage.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
