What we are called out for in Thornton Heath
When frames are recoated or a space is rebranded, the old joints may no longer suit. New cladding colours, repainted frames or a refreshed shop fit all prompt colour changes that the sealant has to follow.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
Shopping centres and retail parks such as Whitgift Centre (to the south of Thornton Heath) see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter.

About our coloured sealant in Thornton Heath
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms.

In London, most commercial sealant work happens in buildings that stay open: 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.
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.

Your questions answered
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Will our hotel in Thornton Heath need to close for the work?
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.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Shop-fit joinery and counters

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first, and we clear our waste as we work. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
