How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Icklesham
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and on a working site that normally surfaces as a leak, a stain or a complaint from occupiers. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in Icklesham. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Icklesham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Icklesham can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Icklesham tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What affects the price in Icklesham
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Icklesham are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Icklesham outside your area?
No. Places such as Icklesham are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Icklesham affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance, until its cure time has passed.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Icklesham
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. Halls, stores and units around places like Icklesham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Working on commercial sites near Icklesham
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Icklesham. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Icklesham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Premises within reach of Winchelsea station, 2 miles north-east of Icklesham, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Whatever the building in Icklesham, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
