How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Bearsted
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). The enquiries we see most involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Bearsted, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In Bearsted, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically 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 Bearsted, commercial buildings are normally 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.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
Sealant on show in Bearsted’s commercial buildings
The 2 miles around Bearsted include two care or nursing homes. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound, often in colours that suit the décor. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
A hotel such as Tudor Park Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south-east of Bearsted, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. In a retail centre such as The Mall Maidstone (2 miles west of Bearsted), new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. For premises near Bearsted station, under half a mile north-east of Bearsted, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Common questions from Bearsted clients
Is a smaller place like Bearsted outside your area?
Not at all. Bearsted is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a hotel in Bearsted need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Bearsted, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
