Sealant applicators in Chartham
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). We work on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and external facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chartham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In Chartham, as anywhere, the first joints to go are normally the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Business units in the countryside around places like Chartham are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When to call us in Chartham
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. New silicone has nothing to key into. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Look out for the following:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
On a business park such as Stour Valley Business Park (0.7 miles north-east of Chartham), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

Questions we are asked in Chartham
Is a smaller place like Chartham outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the sealant on our Chartham premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can areas stay open during the work?
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’ll plan the job around it.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Smaller jobs around Chartham can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- 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.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Commercial sealant contractors in Chartham: the local picture
Chartham lies roughly 51 miles out from central London. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. Chartham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.
A business with units at Stour Valley Business Park and CMA Industrial Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. A hotel such as Howfield Manor Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Chartham, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
