Commercial mastic work in Burham
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you have shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, we can put it right, on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Burham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
On a typical commercial building in Burham, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Business units in the countryside around places like Burham are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Burham as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For work around Burham, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Questions we are asked in Burham
Is Burham off your patch?
Not at all. Burham is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do hotels near Burham have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What do you need from us to quote?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are normally enough to start through our quote form. Where we need to see it, we’ll arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting off a reseal usually moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Around Burham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Colour agreed before work starts

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

What Burham’s businesses ask us to seal
Burham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. Burham has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
Shopping centres and retail parks such as Horsted Retail Park (to the north-east of Burham) see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. Offices and shops close to stations such as Snodland station (to the west of Burham) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Lower Bell Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Burham, need neat joints where clients see them.
