What the job involves on each surface
Office fit-outs
Partition frames and joinery are often in a set colour. We match from the product’s range and agree them before work starts.
Hotel interiors
Phased resealing lets rooms go back into use quickly. We plan around your occupancy.
Coloured sealant in Iford, done properly
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. We work on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and powder-coated and anodised frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and coloured joints that have cracked with movement. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Iford it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places such as Iford, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Iford may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- We apply the agreed colour and tool it neatly, with masking where the finish needs it.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Iford outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a hotel in Iford need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No. We can’t promise an exact custom match. Sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product so you can choose.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. RAL references are a common way to specify sealant colour. We check what that product is made in.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
When to call us in Iford
A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
Premises within reach of Lewes station (1.7 miles north-east of Iford) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Iford
Iford 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. At about 45 miles from central London, Iford is within reach of the capital. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Cliffe Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the north-east of Iford, need neat joints where customers see them. A business with units at Cliffe Industrial Estate and Phoenix Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Nearby you will also find Lewes Castle (1.7 miles north-east) and Brighton And Hove Albion Football Club Museum (3.3 miles west). Not far away are Offham Hill and Southerham Farm.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. Wrong-colour patches are obvious.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent and easier to manage.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
