About our coloured sealant in Abington
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself. If you have colour changes after a rebrand or refit and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Abington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Abington, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Your questions answered
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Abington?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Which documents can you supply for work in Abington?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
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.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Don’t let anyone patch a coloured joint with whatever sealant is to hand. Wrong-colour patches are obvious, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
Common problems we fix in Abington
A coloured joint can fail like any other: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
For any commercial premises in Abington, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How the job changes by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Shop fits bring laminate, timber, metal and stone together, each with its own colour. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction from the product’s range.
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Wet-area sealants come in colours other than white too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Abington, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
