Sealant applicators in Herne Common
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Most enquiries involve frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, across floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Herne Common? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In Herne Common, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Herne Common tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Herne Common
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. That normally means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
A business with units at Eddington Business Park and St. Augustine's Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What Herne Common’s businesses ask us to seal
Herne Common is within about 3 miles of the coast. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Less than 3 miles from Herne Common there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Herne Bay station, 1.4 miles north of Herne Common, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. On a business park such as Eddington Business Park, which lies north of Herne Common, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

Questions about Herne Common
Must a hotel around Herne Common close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Herne Common outside your area?
Not at all. Herne Common is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We confirm documents at quote stage: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diagnose, treat, 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Herne Common are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- 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.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. Where work has disturbed a joint, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form for a quote.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
Commercial clients in Herne Common
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Herne Common can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
Why deal with it now?
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. Converted and older buildings near places like Herne Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
