Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Bankside
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
A hotel such as Bankside Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Bankside, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

About our commercial sealant contractors in Bankside
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in, 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 looking after property in Bankside. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. If you are dealing with smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Bankside start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
If you look after more than one building near Bankside, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
In London, most commercial sealant work happens in buildings that stay open: offices with staff at their desks, shops trading below flats and receptions that can’t be roped off for long. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. In Bankside, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
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. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- CSCS-carded applicators
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Bankside: questions and answers
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Does your area include sites such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, near Bankside?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bankside, Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
How do we get a quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
