Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Takeley outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Seven Acres Business Centre, by Takeley?
Yes. Our area takes in Takeley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Seven Acres Business Centre included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours or a phased programme, depending on joint lengths and how many colours are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No. An exact bespoke match isn’t something we can promise. Sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Common problems we fix in Takeley
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a substitute product was used. It seals fine but catches the eye, so someone asks for it to be changed.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
If you run an office at a site such as Seven Acres Business Centre, under half a mile to the north-east of Takeley, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Takeley, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Surface by surface
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
Natural stone
Stone facades and stone interiors vary widely. We choose from the product’s range and agree the colour with you after a sample if needed.
Why act early in Takeley
A standard colour is quicker to source, though not always right. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is typically worth it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Takeley, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- CHAS accredited contractor

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Sealant on show in Takeley’s commercial buildings
Takeley is about 30 miles from central London. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Takeley. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Seven Acres Business Centre and Takeley Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact. Premises within reach of Stansted Airport station (1.4 miles north of Takeley) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
