Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. Should something look amiss, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year typically mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Sealant specialists in Romney Street
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. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. The enquiries we see most involve frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and movement joints packed with grit and debris, across external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. Whoever orders the work in Romney Street, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A lot of what we do in Romney Street is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Romney Street are frequently converted agricultural buildings. 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Romney Street: questions and answers
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Romney Street?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does your area include sites such as West Kingsdown Industrial Estate, near Romney Street?
Yes, sites like West Kingsdown Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Romney Street. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
That comes down to planning: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Romney Street
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
Sites a few miles apart, such as West Kingsdown Industrial Estate and Blue Chalet Industrial Park, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Sealant on show in Romney Street’s commercial buildings
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. Romney Street has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Premises within reach of Shoreham (Kent) station (1.6 miles west of Romney Street) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. If you run a unit on an estate such as West Kingsdown Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles to the north-east of Romney Street, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Romney Street is about 4 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Romney Street sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Romney Street is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for sealant joints. We also cover London, some 18 miles away.

Landmarks near Romney Street

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
