Questions about Pootings
Is Pootings off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Pootings?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How we handle coloured sealant in Pootings
Architects, designers and brand teams often specify the sealant colour as carefully as the finishes around it. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, so we check what the specified product is made in at quote stage. We don’t promise an exact custom match, but we’ll show you the closest options. We work on hotel bathrooms and public areas, natural stone and brick and cladding panels, and what we’re called in for most is old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification. For commercial sealant work in Pootings, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Work in smaller places such as Pootings tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We’ll want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Standardise colours across a portfolio
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
Colours can soften with light and weathering. Some fading is part of normal ageing outdoors, and a reseal brings it back.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. A sample in real light shows how it will look.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Cladding panels
- Office fit-out finishes
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
When to call us in Pootings
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
A hotel such as The Albion Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south-west of Pootings, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
Before you book anyone
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their public liability cover

If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
