What affects the price in Copythorne
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Copythorne
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. We work on window and door perimeters, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Copythorne from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
If you look after more than one building near Copythorne, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Business units in the countryside around places like Copythorne 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Copythorne
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Copythorne
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
Sites a few miles apart, such as Mortimer Trading Estate and Shelley Farm Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Copythorne need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What Copythorne’s businesses ask us to seal
The 3 miles around Copythorne take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen, often in a colour the occupier specifies. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Copythorne. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme.
For a hotel such as The Bartley Lodge Hotel, which lies south-west of Copythorne, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Premises within reach of Ashurst New Forest station, 3.1 miles to the south-east of Copythorne, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Common questions from Copythorne clients
Is Mortimer Trading Estate, near Copythorne, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Copythorne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mortimer Trading Estate included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Copythorne too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
