Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead.
Commercial sealant contractors in Baffins
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: 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. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Baffins it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Baffins, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
In a smaller place such as Baffins, commercial buildings are typically a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved, and we clear our waste as we work. What matters most for a job in Baffins is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open

Why act early in Baffins
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. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal, though we’ll tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
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’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Cost factors for sealant joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Baffins affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Baffins too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Which site documents can you send us?
We confirm documents at quote stage: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
