Why act early in Hythe
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Water through a split seal can stain or damage the surfaces next to it. In a town like Hythe, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

About our coloured sealant in Hythe
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. We work on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick, and what we’re called in for most is untidy coloured beads with ragged edges and coloured joints that have cracked with movement. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hythe it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a town the size of Hythe, commercial buildings tend to be high-street shops, offices over shops, schools, care homes and small industrial units. Shopfronts, kitchens, washrooms and frames all have sealant that ages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What else we do in Hythe
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Hythe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Hythe counts as a coastal location. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Hythe. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme.
For a hotel such as The Swan Hotel, which lies east of Hythe, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Occupiers with premises at both Shorncliffe Industrial Estate and Golden Valley Shopping Centre could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Hythe are worth mentioning when you send details. Industrial and business units normally have yard or car park space.
- 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.
- 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.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hythe
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Hythe change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work at a site such as Shorncliffe Industrial Estate, by Hythe?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hythe, Shorncliffe Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Quoting for work in Hythe
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
What we are called out for in Hythe
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Look out for the following:
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
Shops and cafés around stations like Sandling station (to the north-west of Hythe) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
