Sealant applicators in Eltham
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting, across movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Eltham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Occupied buildings in Eltham need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
In London, most commercial sealant work happens in buildings that stay open: offices with staff at their desks, shops trading below flats and receptions that can’t be roped off for long. We plan the joints floor by floor or unit by unit with the building manager, so areas stay in use.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Eltham
A 2-mile radius around Eltham takes in several hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The 3 miles around Eltham take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
For tenants and agents on sites such as Green Lane Business Park (0.7 miles south-east of Eltham), office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. Premises within reach of Mottingham station (to the south-west of Eltham) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Sites a few miles apart, such as Green Lane Business Park and Chiltonian Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Eltham is about 7 miles west of Dartford, in Greater London. Any commercial site in Eltham is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 764 places across Greater London fall within our area, including Eltham. London is covered too, around 8 miles from Eltham.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Planning a London job such as one in Eltham starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Eltham close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you take on jobs in Eltham 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. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you cover Eltham?
Yes. We take on work across Eltham, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes.
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: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away, so it isn’t something we do.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
