Leave it or put it right?
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, and they’re where most failures begin. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. In Charing Cross, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Charing Cross
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. Site teams most often ask us about weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, across movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Charing Cross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In an occupied building in Charing Cross, the job is planned so areas stay in use: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
For managing agents and FMs looking after premises in Charing Cross, access is normally the first question: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. With access agreed, we work through the sealant joints a section at a time, keeping disruption to tenants low.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
When we get to site, 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, with the work itself typically taking part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
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.
Commercial sealant contractors in Charing Cross: the local picture
London premises normally come with a building manager, booked loading and house rules for contractors. We plan around them and agree phasing so tenants and clients aren’t disrupted. Less than 3 miles from Charing Cross there are at least three named estates and business parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it.
A hotel such as Morley's Hotel (to the north-east of Charing Cross) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. For a shop at a centre such as Brunswick Centre, which lies north of Charing Cross, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures. Premises within reach of London Charing Cross station, under half a mile to the east of Charing Cross, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

When to bring in a specialist
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
FAQs: Charing Cross
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Does your area include sites such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, near Charing Cross?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Charing Cross, Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we’ll put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Which sealant will you use?
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?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
