Common questions from Charlwood clients
Must a hotel around Charlwood close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Is a smaller place like Charlwood outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Commercial sealant contractors in Charlwood
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, run the same way on every site: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. To get a programme moving in Charlwood, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site addresses. If you are dealing with black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Charlwood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A lot of what we do in Charlwood is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Business units in the countryside around places like Charlwood are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Around Charlwood, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Constructionline member
- Public liability insurance in place
- One number for every site we cover
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Commercial sealant contractors around Charlwood: how the place shapes the job
Charlwood is about 24 miles from central London. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Charlwood. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
Units at places like County Oak Retail Park (to the south-east of Charlwood) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme. A hotel such as Stanhill Court Hotel (1 mile north-west of Charlwood) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Charlwood?
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Look out for the following:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Gatwick Business Park and Gatwick Gate Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Charlwood can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Charlwood are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.

- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
