Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form for a quote.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
Commercial mastic work in Ashburnham
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in, and on a working site that normally surfaces as a leak, a stain or a complaint from occupiers. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors with sites in Ashburnham. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. If you have black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Ashburnham, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Ashburnham can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Business units in the countryside around places like Ashburnham are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why act early in Ashburnham
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Older rural buildings around Ashburnham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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 appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Constructionline member

Commercial sealant contractors in Ashburnham: the local picture
Ashburnham 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. Ashburnham is about 46 miles from central London. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
For any commercial premises in Ashburnham, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
Ashburnham is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Ashburnham for work on sealant joints. Across East Sussex, 308 places are covered, Ashburnham among them. We also cover Brighton, some 24 miles away.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
When to call us in Ashburnham
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed all let go sooner than they should. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants, and many specifications refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
Shops and cafés around stations like Battle station (4.4 miles east of Ashburnham) trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Common questions from Ashburnham clients
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Ashburnham?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Ashburnham?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship, starting at sign-off. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

Honest limits

- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
