Sealant specialists in Ashurst
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Site teams most often ask us about mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, across washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and floor and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Ashurst, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
On a typical commercial building in Ashurst, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
In and around smaller places such as Ashurst, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why deal with it now?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ashurst. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What you get with us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Ashurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will price putting it right.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. A few splits this year typically mean more next year. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Commercial sealant contractors around Ashurst: what changes locally
Ashurst lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. Rainfall across the South East, Ashurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
Premises within reach of Ashurst Kent station (under half a mile west of Ashurst) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Ashurst is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Looking for commercial sealant contractors in Ashurst? We can help, as we do across Kent. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. Brighton is covered too, around 24 miles from Ashurst.

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Ashurst
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
For tenants and agents on sites such as Speldhurst Business Park, which lies east of Ashurst, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.

What else we do in Ashurst
How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Quoting for work in Ashurst
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job

Questions about Ashurst
Is Speldhurst Business Park, near Ashurst, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Ashurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Speldhurst Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Ashurst?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
