About our coloured sealant in Shottenden
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface. The enquiries we see most involve untidy coloured beads with ragged edges and marked sealant in hotel bathrooms, on cladding panels, hotel bathrooms and public areas and powder-coated and anodised frames. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shottenden from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Shottenden tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- A colour that never alters with age
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

Signs you need coloured sealant in Shottenden
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a different product was swapped in. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Premises within reach of Selling station, 2 miles to the north of Shottenden, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shottenden are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
- We prepare each joint, prime where needed and fit backing.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Questions we are asked in Shottenden
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Shottenden?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Shottenden?
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’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is Shottenden in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Shottenden, and the same phone number covers every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
