Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Malting Green
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: 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. If you’re dealing with window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and movement joints packed with grit and debris, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Malting Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
The most common commercial job in Malting Green is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Malting Green are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
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.

Malting Green: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Malting Green, such as Gosbeck's Business Park?

Is Malting Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Malting Green is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Malting Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

What else we do in Malting Green
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Malting Green. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. A few splits this year usually mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
What Malting Green’s businesses ask us to seal
Central London is about 48 miles from Malting Green. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. Malting Green has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Colchester Town station, 3.1 miles to the north-east of Malting Green, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Parks like Gosbeck's Business Park, 1.6 miles to the north of Malting Green, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.
Malting Green is about 3 miles south of Colchester, in Essex. Commercial clients in Malting Green use us for work on sealant joints. Across Essex, 644 places are covered, Malting Green among them. For work in that direction, see our London page (48 miles or so).

Well-known places in the area include Birch Castle (2.3 miles west) and Social History Museum (3.1 miles north). For a walk, there’s Roman River Valley.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Malting Green
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges; in time the surface chalks, hardens and cracks. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
A business with units at Gosbeck's Business Park and Angora Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
