Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A standard colour is quicker to source, though not always right. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is normally worth it. Around Fox Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Fox Street
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Coloured sealant in Fox Street
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Let us know who signs off colour, and we’ll fit the sample into the programme. If you are dealing with patch repairs in several different colours and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Fox Street it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
A job in a smaller place like Fox Street is usually a single building. We’ll want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Fox Street as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions about Fox Street
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Fox Street?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fox Street, such as Crown Business Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fox Street, Crown Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Working on commercial sites near Fox Street
Fox Street has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal; brand colours often come into it. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Fox Street. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound.
If you run an office at a site such as Crown Business Centre, which lies north-west of Fox Street, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. A business with units at Crown Business Centre and Martells Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. For premises near Hythe station, 2.1 miles south-west of Fox Street, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building around Fox Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
