When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to

How we handle coloured sealant in Abbey Gate
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. Most enquiries involve old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish, across cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Abbey Gate? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
Quantities, awkward access and phased working 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 to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Abbey Gate
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, with no guesswork.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong; fixing it early prevents rework.
Common problems we fix in Abbey Gate
A coloured joint can fail like any other: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Look out for the following:
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
Industrial estates such as Viewpoint Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Abbey Gate) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.

Working on commercial sites near Abbey Gate
At about 30 miles from central London, Abbey Gate 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. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site. Abbey Gate is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Maidstone East station, 1.4 miles to the south of Abbey Gate, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Viewpoint Industrial Estate and Mid Kent Shopping Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Abbey Gate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Does a hotel in Abbey Gate need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. Send the specification or colour reference. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
