Sealant on show in Borden’s commercial buildings
Less than 3 miles from Borden there are at least three named estates and business parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it. Borden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
Shops and cafés around stations like Sittingbourne station (1.4 miles north-east of Borden) trade from early, so work is timed around them. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Kent Science Park and Newington Enterprise Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. For tenants and agents on sites such as Kent Science Park, which lies south-east of Borden, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
Borden is about 1 mile south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We send applicators to Borden for colour-matched joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 931 places in Kent. Our London page has more on work in that area.

About our coloured sealant in Borden
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. If you’re dealing with coloured joints that have cracked with movement and poorly tooled joints on visible finishes, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Borden? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Borden tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by clients. A sharp, even bead is as important as the colour.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Borden may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Small repairs at different times rarely match. Around Borden, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
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.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
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; fixing it early prevents rework.
Common questions from Borden clients
Is Borden off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Kent Science Park, near Borden, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Borden and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kent Science Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. Many specifications give the sealant colour as a RAL number. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product and agree the nearest option.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No, not always. We choose the nearest standard colour and can agree a sample bead first.
