Sealant specialists in Fingest
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. The enquiries we see most involve smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting, across washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Fingest? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

Why act early in Fingest
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. Older rural buildings around Fingest move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Common problems we fix in Fingest
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed will all fail early. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
A lasting commercial joint around Fingest begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
Your questions answered
Can the sealant on our Fingest premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Fingest too far out for you?
Not at all. Fingest is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which site documents can you send us?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can areas stay open during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
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.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Fingest, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
