Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Coloured sealant in St Ives, done properly
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we’ll plan for it. The enquiries we see most involve poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and weathered sealant that no longer matches, across powder-coated and anodised frames, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. Searching for sealant specialists in St Ives? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Rural business units near smaller places such as St Ives are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Check a trial length in real light
Use gentle cleaning methods on coloured sealant. Strong solvents and abrasive pads can dull or mark the surface.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent for whoever reseals next.

What affects the price in St Ives
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
FAQs: St Ives
Is St Ives off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a hotel in St Ives need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. Send the specification or colour reference. We plan around trading hours where we can, within our working week.
Is coloured sealant weaker than white?
The colour doesn’t change what kind of sealant it is. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last in any colour.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What we are called out for in St Ives
Internal joints can stain from cleaning products, spills or mould. Mould that has rooted into a bead rarely cleans out, so replacement is the fix.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
In hotels such as St Leonards Hotel, 0.8 miles to the south-west of St Ives, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Sealant on show in St Ives’s commercial buildings
St Ives is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. St Ives has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Ashley Heath Industrial Estate (1.6 miles north-west of St Ives) need neat joints where clients see them. Occupiers with premises at both Ashley Heath Industrial Estate and Millstream Trading Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
