Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Sealant applicators in Reading Street
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. If you have hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and layers of sealant, all of them failing, we can help, on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Reading Street tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
The most common commercial job in Reading Street 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 Reading Street are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Why act early in Reading Street
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We will suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. For buildings around smaller places like Reading Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Advice
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.

What else we do in Reading Street
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Questions about Reading Street
Do you cover business parks and estates near Reading Street, such as Pickhill Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Reading Street and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Pickhill Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Reading Street off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away and isn’t worth paying for.
