Coloured sealant across Throcking
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
Coloured sealant in Throcking
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you have white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and smeared sealant on stone or joinery, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Throcking it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Business units in the countryside around places like Throcking are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Throcking, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Point out any areas we must not close
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Questions about Throcking
Is a smaller place like Throcking outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the sealant on our Throcking premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We show you the closest options in the product’s range for approval.
Natural stone
Stone facades and stone interiors vary widely. Colour is agreed on site where possible after a sample if needed.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panels
- Office fit-out finishes
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Natural stone and brick
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas

If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK.

Sites a few miles apart, such as Honeywood Industrial Centre and Buntingford Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Honeywood Industrial Centre (0.5 miles west of Throcking) need neat joints where clients see them.
