Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Commercial sealant contractors in Great Bentley, done properly
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure normally announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in Great Bentley. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. If you’re dealing with wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, we can help, on external facade joints, washrooms and tea points and kitchen worktops and splashbacks alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Great Bentley from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In Great Bentley, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Around smaller places such as Great Bentley, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What else we do in Great Bentley
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts.

- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.

If you run an office at a site such as Plough Road Business Centre, less than half a mile south of Great Bentley, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Great Bentley: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Great Bentley outside your area?
Not at all. Great Bentley is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Plough Road Business Centre, near Great Bentley?
Yes. We cover Great Bentley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Plough Road Business Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we will put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why act early in Great Bentley
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. In a smaller place such as Great Bentley, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
