Why it’s worth doing now in Keymer
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. For buildings in places like Keymer, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Sealant applicators in Keymer
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. We work on washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Keymer, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Keymer can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, and the scope is set out in writing.
Around smaller places such as Keymer, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Working on commercial sites near Keymer
Keymer lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. The 2 miles around Keymer include two care or nursing homes. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean; colours can be chosen to suit the interior.
For a hotel such as The White Horse Hotel (0.8 miles east of Keymer), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Occupiers with premises at both Victoria Business Park and Mid Sussex Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Quoting for work in Keymer
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
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 will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them and the joint gets left open. If that happens, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will price putting it right.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, so sound, smooth joints matter.
Common questions from Keymer clients
Is a smaller place like Keymer outside your area?
No. Places such as Keymer are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Keymer, such as Victoria Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Keymer, Victoria Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, priced site by site or as one programme.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
When to call us in Keymer
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges, so beads chalk, stiffen and lose their stretch. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
Parks like Victoria Business Park (to the north of Keymer) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Keymer need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
