Sealant specialists in Bodiam
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure typically 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 Bodiam. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are layers of sealant, all of them failing and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations. For commercial sealant work in Bodiam, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Bodiam can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
A job in a smaller place like Bodiam is typically a single building. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t usually be cleaned out. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, room by room if that suits the building.
Questions about Bodiam
Can the sealant on our Bodiam premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Bodiam, such as Bodiam Business Park?
Yes, sites like Bodiam Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bodiam. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away, so it isn’t something we do.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through our quote form. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Bodiam
Bodiam sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. Central London is about 44 miles from Bodiam. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Robertsbridge station (3.3 miles south-west of Bodiam) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Bodiam Business Park and Quarry Farm Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Advice
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Bodiam?
In wet areas the enemy is typically mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
For tenants and agents on sites such as Bodiam Business Park, which lies south-west of Bodiam, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to.
