About our commercial sealant contractors in Aldgate
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure normally announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors with sites in Aldgate. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Aldgate? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Aldgate can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, so one job can involve stone, brick, powder-coated frames and laminate in a single visit. Each surface gets its own preparation and, where it’s seen, a sealant colour that sits with it.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

What we are called out for in Aldgate
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
For premises near London Fenchurch Street station, less than half a mile south of Aldgate, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Work for main contractors and building owners
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Aldgate: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Aldgate, such as Princes Court Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Aldgate and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Princes Court Business Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do hotels near Aldgate have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
