Commercial sealant contractors in Clerkenwell, done properly
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we’re there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. Site teams most often ask us about weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and washrooms and tea points. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Clerkenwell? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
The most common commercial job in Clerkenwell is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Around Clerkenwell, 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. Each surface gets its own preparation and, where it’s seen, a sealant colour that sits with it.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Questions we’re asked in Clerkenwell
Do hotels near Clerkenwell have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you take on jobs in Clerkenwell where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What affects the price in Clerkenwell
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. 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 come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
