Commercial sealant contractors in Botley, done properly
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. Site teams most often ask us about smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Botley? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In an occupied building in Botley, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Sealant jobs for businesses in a place the size of Botley are often best grouped: shopfront, washroom, kitchen and any external joints done together. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading, and where colour matters on the frontage, we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What Botley’s businesses ask us to seal
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Botley. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Botley. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Refits at hotels like The Legacy Botleigh Grange Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Botley, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Offices and shops close to stations such as Botley station (to the east of Botley) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Bottings Industrial Estate, near Botley?
Yes. Our area takes in Botley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bottings Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Must a hotel around Botley close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work in Botley?
Yes. We take on work across Botley, with one number for every area we cover.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. For a job in Botley, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- 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.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Why act early in Botley
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

Common problems we fix in Botley
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Bottings Industrial Estate and Solent Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
