Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In Hockenden, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- 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.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Coloured sealant in Hockenden
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. We work on office fit-out finishes, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels, and what we’re called in for most is poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification. Searching for sealant specialists in Hockenden? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For managing agents and FMs looking after premises in Hockenden, access is typically the first question: booked loading, goods-lift times, the permit system and a place to stage materials. Once that’s settled, the colour-matched joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Signs you need coloured sealant in Hockenden
A coloured joint can fail like any other: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. The fix is a full cut-out and a new bead in the right colour.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Like every part of Greater London, Hockenden is covered by the ULEZ, so vehicle access, loading and parking are planned before the first visit.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
Questions we’re asked in Hockenden
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do hotels near Hockenden have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. That only works where the joint and specification allow it because paint may crack where the joint moves.
Natural stone
Stone facades and stone interiors vary widely. Colour is agreed on site where possible.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Note which sealant colour was used where
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. Future repairs can then use the same colour, avoiding a patchwork.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler for whoever reseals next.
