Commercial premises in Bow Common
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Bow Common. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. In London, commercial buildings often have managed loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems. We work within them, one zone at a time.
Shopping centres and retail parks such as Anchor Retail Park (to the west of Bow Common) see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. A hotel such as George IV Regency Hotel (to the south-east of Bow Common) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Thomas Road Industrial Estate and Bow Enterprise Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Bow Common
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. Site teams most often ask us about external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bow Common? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Occupied buildings in Bow Common need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Around Bow Common, as across the capital, commercial buildings range from converted period premises to recent office and mixed-use blocks, so one job can involve stone, brick, powder-coated frames and laminate in a single visit. The right product goes on each, in a colour chosen to suit where the joint is seen.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with a photo.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bow Common
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. Planning the work across a year or a portfolio means fewer separate visits and a predictable spend. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Take a look at our cost guide or our accreditations.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common questions from Bow Common clients
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Will our hotel in Bow Common need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Is Bow Common in your area?
Yes. Sites across Bow Common are covered.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Bow Common

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, 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 the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
