About our commercial sealant contractors in Adur
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. If you have greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and layers of sealant, all of them failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Adur it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Adur, as anywhere, the first joints to go are normally the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Adur 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Adur, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Working on commercial sites near Adur
Adur is within about 2 miles of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
A business with units at Dolphin Industrial Estate and Rectory Farm Road Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. If you run a unit on an estate such as Dolphin Industrial Estate (2 miles south-east of Adur), the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Adur is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area, about 7 miles away.
We cover the BN43 and BN15 postcode districts. Among the streets we cover are Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. If your building is just outside Adur, we cover Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Horsham (15 miles north), Worthing (5 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (13 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (10 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles west).
Local landmarks in Adur
In Adur, that means premises near Sussex Pad pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 1.5 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Steyning Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Old Castle (4.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Lancing Ring and Mill Hill.
What we’re called out for in Adur
No sealant joint is permanent. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. In commercial buildings those factors tend to act together.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
Shops and cafés around stations like Shoreham-By-Sea station, 1.5 miles to the south-east of Adur, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Questions we are asked in Adur
Do you cover business parks and estates near Adur, such as Dolphin Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Adur, Dolphin Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Adur too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we’ll put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we will confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement, and we will say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. For buildings around smaller places like Adur, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
A quote for sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
