Commercial sealant contractors near New Hythe
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around New Hythe, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- 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
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

About our commercial sealant contractors in New Hythe
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: 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. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints with the sealant torn out and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in New Hythe tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
We price commercial jobs in New Hythe from photographs, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
In and around smaller places such as New Hythe, the commercial buildings we’re asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What New Hythe’s businesses ask us to seal
New Hythe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from New Hythe. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms.
For a hotel such as Hamlet Hotel Maidstone, 0.9 miles to the south-west of New Hythe, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. If you run an office at a site such as New Hythe Business Park, under half a mile east of New Hythe, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Offices and shops close to stations such as New Hythe station, under half a mile to the north-east of New Hythe, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
New Hythe is about 4 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout New Hythe. New Hythe is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 27 miles away.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Questions about New Hythe
Is New Hythe too far out for you?
Not at all. New Hythe is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in New Hythe?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Sealant installed at the same time usually fails in sequence. A few splits this year normally mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
What else we do in New Hythe
Why act early in New Hythe
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like New Hythe. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
