Sealant specialists in Lunsford
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in, and on a working site that usually 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 Lunsford. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. Site teams most often ask us about shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and layers of sealant, all of them failing, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lunsford it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Lunsford can come from photos and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Places like Lunsford tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, which is how mould gets back in. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Lunsford
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Lunsford. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Less than 3 miles from Lunsford there are at least three named estates and business parks. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it.
On a business park such as New Hythe Business Park (0.7 miles east of Lunsford), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. Shops and cafés around stations like New Hythe station, 0.7 miles to the east of Lunsford, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Questions we are asked in Lunsford
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lunsford, such as New Hythe Business Park?
Yes, sites like New Hythe Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Lunsford. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do hotels near Lunsford 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.
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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we will plan around them, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.

When to call us in Lunsford
Washrooms and kitchens wear sealant out in their own way. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant; when mould is in the body of the sealant, no cleaner will shift it. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
Occupiers with premises at both New Hythe Business Park and South Aylesford Retail Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
