Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Snargate. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Snargate can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Coloured sealant in Snargate, done properly
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites in Snargate. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. We work on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and powder-coated and anodised frames, and what we are called in for most is hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme and white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Snargate from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Business units in the countryside around places like Snargate are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

When to call us in Snargate
A coloured joint can fail like any other: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. The fix is a full cut-out and a new bead in the right colour.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
A lasting commercial joint around Snargate begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Before you book anyone

- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

What Snargate’s businesses ask us to seal
Central London is about 52 miles from Snargate. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site. Snargate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Rural sites near Snargate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it, and it lifts the whole area. For buildings around smaller places like Snargate, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Snargate
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- One number for every site we cover
- Colour agreed before work starts
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common questions from Snargate clients
Is Snargate off your patch?
Not at all. Snargate is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Snargate?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Wet-area sealants are made in colours as well as white. We’ll confirm what’s available for the specified product before work starts.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What affects the price in Snargate
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
