What we’re called out for in Pollhill

A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. New silicone has nothing to key into, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
  • Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
  • Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
  • Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes

For premises near Harrietsham station, which lies north-east of Pollhill, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Pollhill

Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. If you are dealing with gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pollhill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

A lot of what we do in Pollhill is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.

Work in smaller places such as Pollhill tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.

Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

From enquiry to sign-off

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Pollhill, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

  1. We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  3. We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
  4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
  5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot

After the work

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Report cracked or peeling sealant early
  • Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
  • Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
  • Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured

Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. If that happens, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll price putting it right.

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.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Pollhill

Pollhill lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Pollhill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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 Roebuck Business Park (less than half a mile east of Pollhill), the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Pollhill is about 6 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Pollhill sits inside our coverage and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. We also cover London, around 37 miles from Pollhill.

Work on sealant joints is covered throughout ME17, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on Horwood Way, Shrubwood Close and Parkfield Close are within our area. Nearby places we also cover include Harrietsham (1 mile east), Chegworth (1 mile north-west), Marley (1 mile east), Fairbourne Heath (1 mile south) and Broomfield (1 mile west). Bigger towns within reach include Maidstone (6 miles west), Ashford (11 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (8 miles north-east), Faversham (11 miles north-east), Minster (14 miles north-east) and Kings Hill (11 miles west).

Work for main contractors and building owners

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

General trades versus a specialist

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.

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Quoting for work in Pollhill

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • How accessible the joints are
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Working within restricted access windows

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What to include in your enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

  • Any specification or named product
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Common questions from Pollhill clients

Can you match sealant colours for premises in Pollhill?

Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.

Is Pollhill too small for you to travel to?

No. Places such as Pollhill are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?

Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?

Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.

Can weather delay the job?

For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.

How do we get a quote?

Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.

Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?

Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we’ll confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
