Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
About our commercial sealant contractors in Hatfield Heath
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. 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. Site teams most often ask us about movement joints packed with grit and debris and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked, on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and washrooms and tea points. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hatfield Heath? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In an occupied building in Hatfield Heath, the job is planned so areas stay in use: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
In and around smaller places such as Hatfield Heath, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Essex. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Hatfield Heath need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions answered
Is Hatfield Heath too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hatfield Heath is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Allen House Business Centre, near Hatfield Heath, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hatfield Heath, Allen House Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
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.
Common problems we fix in Hatfield Heath
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade will all fail early. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
Premises within reach of Sawbridgeworth station (2 miles west of Hatfield Heath) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen

At about 25 miles from central London, Hatfield Heath is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.
A business with units at Allen House Business Centre and Spellbrook Business Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. In hotels such as Down Hall Hotel, 1.2 miles to the south of Hatfield Heath, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
