What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Commercial sealant contractors in Barcombe
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: we’re 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. If you have leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Barcombe, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
On a typical commercial building in Barcombe, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Work in smaller places such as Barcombe tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Common questions from Barcombe clients
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Barcombe?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Will you take on work at estates like Diplocks industrial estate, close to Barcombe?
Yes. Our area takes in Barcombe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Diplocks industrial estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
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.
How do we get a quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed.
Commercial sealant contractors in Barcombe: the local picture
Barcombe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. The 3 miles around Barcombe take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal; brand colours often come into it.
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Diplocks industrial estate (2.1 miles south-east of Barcombe) need neat joints where clients see them. Occupiers with premises at both Diplocks industrial estate and Malling Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Premises within reach of Cooksbridge station, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Barcombe, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Barcombe
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.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. For work around Barcombe, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
