On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Petham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Commercial mastic work in Petham
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phasing keeps some washrooms, kitchens or entrances available while others are done. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. Most enquiries involve sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, on movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Petham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
The most common commercial job in Petham is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Business units in the countryside around places like Petham are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

FAQs: Petham
Is Petham off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Petham?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Common problems we fix in Petham
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. Normally the movement was too much for the sealant chosen because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
Offices and shops close to stations such as Chartham station, 2.6 miles north-west of Petham, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. Petham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.
If you run an office at a site such as Stour Valley Business Park (2.7 miles north of Petham), the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.
