Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Ifold
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. If you have layers of sealant, all of them failing and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ifold, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
We price commercial jobs in Ifold from photos, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
In and around smaller places such as Ifold, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. We confirm the access in place before we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Owners, agents and contractors
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.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Ifold need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- 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.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Ifold: questions and answers
What site paperwork comes with a job in Ifold?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Ifold off your patch?
Not at all. Ifold is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
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, as many construction sites ask for.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors

Central London is about 35 miles from Ifold. 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.
For any commercial premises in Ifold, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. Where a joint is on show in Ifold, we will check which shades the product offers before work starts.
