Why it’s worth doing now in Kensington
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Kensington takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- One contact handling all your sites
- Public liability insurance in place
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
Commercial mastic work in Kensington
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and external facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and expansion joints with the sealant torn out. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kensington is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Kensington can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
For managing agents and FMs looking after premises in Kensington, access is usually the first question: booked loading, goods-lift times, the permit system and a place to stage materials. With access agreed, we work through the sealant joints a section at a time, keeping disruption to tenants low.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Other services in Kensington
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
After the work
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
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. If that happens, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll price putting it right.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year typically mean more next year. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

- Washrooms and tea points

Questions we are asked in Kensington
Do hotels near Kensington have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we’ll put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Do you cover Kensington?
Yes. Kensington falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
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, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.
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. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Sealant on show in Kensington’s commercial buildings
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Kensington. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. In London, commercial buildings often have managed loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems. We plan around them and agree phasing so tenants and customers aren’t disrupted.
For a shop at a centre such as Kensington Arcade, under half a mile to the east of Kensington, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures. A business with units at Berghem Mews Business Village and Stable Way Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Offices and shops close to stations such as Kensington Olympia station, less than half a mile to the south-west of Kensington, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Kensington is about 5 miles west of London, in Greater London. Across the W11 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Greater London, 764 places are covered, including Kensington.
Commercial sites across W11, W8, W14 and SW7 are covered. For a building on Kensington High Street, Edwardes Square and Somerset Square or nearby, we can quote for sealant joints. Being close to the A402 and B316, Kensington is easy to get to with materials and equipment. If your building is just outside Kensington, we cover Holland Park (1 mile north), Notting Hill (1 mile north), Shepherd's Bush (1 mile west), Notting Dale (1 mile north) and White City (1 mile north-west). A short drive away, we cover London (5 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (4 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles east), Walthamstow (10 miles north-east) and Hoxton (6 miles north-east). Among the larger centres in Greater London is Kensington, and its commercial and public buildings are all within our area.
Local landmarks in Kensington
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Holland Park, Scarsdale Tavern and Holland Park School. Other local landmarks include Kensington School (0.5 miles east) and Abdus Salam Library (1 mile east). Kensington has its own railway station: Kensington Olympia station. A little further out are Kensington Arcade (less than half a mile east) and London Museum (0.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include WWT London Wetland Centre and The Long Water.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Kensington can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- 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.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close
