About our coloured sealant in West Reading
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we’ll plan for it. If you have previous reseals that don’t match the original and weathered sealant that no longer matches, we can put it right, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, office fit-out finishes and cladding panels alike.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding

FAQs: West Reading
Is West Reading too far out for you?
No. Places such as West Reading are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Reading Retail Park, close to West Reading?
Yes, sites like Reading Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of West Reading. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. Where colour is critical, we can agree a short sample bead in a discreet spot. The colour can shift a little as it cures, so seeing it in place helps.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes, where the product range allows. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Common problems we fix in West Reading
Mould and staining discolour coloured joints in some areas. Mould that has grown into sealant normally can’t be cleaned out, so replacement is the fix.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
Premises within reach of Reading West station, under half a mile to the north-east of West Reading, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Sealant on show in West Reading’s commercial buildings
Rainfall across the South East, West Reading included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. West Reading has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
A hotel such as Abbey House Hotel (to the south of West Reading) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Reading Retail Park and Reading Link Retail Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For a site in West Reading, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
