Commercial sealant contractors for Gilbert Street sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Gilbert Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Commercial mastic work in Gilbert Street
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. If you are dealing with messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, we can put it right, on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Gilbert Street, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In an occupied building in Gilbert Street, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Work in smaller places such as Gilbert Street tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
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.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
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, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Questions about Gilbert Street
Is Gilbert Street too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Gilbert Street, such as Lower Soldridge Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Gilbert Street, Lower Soldridge Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can areas stay open 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.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts.

Commercial clients in Gilbert Street
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Gilbert Street can form part of a wider programme.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to.
Common problems we fix in Gilbert Street
In wet areas the enemy is typically mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
If you run an office at a site such as Lower Soldridge Business Park, 1.7 miles north of Gilbert Street, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
