What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Forestdale
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years: 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’ll confirm with the quote. We work on external facade joints, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Forestdale, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In an occupied building in Forestdale, the job is planned so areas stay in use: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, which means one visit can cover joints against stone, brickwork, coated aluminium and shop-fit panels. The right product goes on each, in a colour chosen to suit where the joint is seen.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. 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 reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Common questions from Forestdale clients
Do you take on jobs in Forestdale where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Is Vulcan Way Industrial Estate, near Forestdale, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Forestdale and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Vulcan Way Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We will suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Forestdale takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
