Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Westwell Leacon
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: a stone or brick facade shifts in tone from one area to the next. We choose a colour that reads well across the surface rather than chasing one spot, with a sample on site if colour is critical. If you have colour changes after a rebrand or refit and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, we can help, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels alike. Most enquiries from Westwell Leacon start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
A job in a smaller place like Westwell Leacon is normally a single building. 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. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Commercial premises in Westwell Leacon
At about 44 miles from central London, Westwell Leacon is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent for whoever reseals next.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. The right colour keeps them discreet while the product still suits the movement.
Office fit-outs
Partition frames and joinery are often in a set colour. We choose sealant colours to suit and agree them before work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
A mismatched or discoloured bead is a small detail that buyers, guests and clients notice, especially in shop fits and hotels. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it, and the difference is obvious. Around Westwell Leacon, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Westwell Leacon, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. 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.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Westwell Leacon: questions and answers
Is Westwell Leacon too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which documents can you supply for work in Westwell Leacon?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. We will tell you which colour is closest before work starts.
Will the colour fade over time?
Some change is normal outdoors. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, and resealing brings the look back.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
