Sealant specialists in Old Heath
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead. If you’re dealing with mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Heath is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
On a typical commercial building in Old Heath, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Sealant jobs for businesses in a place the size of Old Heath are often best grouped: frontage, staff facilities and window perimeters on one booking. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a site in Old Heath, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s normally close behind, so access and set-up end up being paid for twice. We can price both options so you can decide on the facts. For buildings in places like Old Heath, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

What Old Heath’s businesses ask us to seal
Old Heath lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Old Heath. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
Shops and cafés around stations like Hythe station (1 mile north of Old Heath) trade from early, so work is timed around them. A business with units at Grange Way Business Park and Whitehall Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows

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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done

- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Questions about Old Heath
Is Old Heath too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Grange Way Business Park, close to Old Heath?
Yes. We cover Old Heath and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Grange Way Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Which site documents can you send us?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a photo.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
When to call us in Old Heath
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants, and many specifications refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
Refits at hotels like Wivenhoe House Hotel, 1.2 miles to the north-east of Old Heath, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
