About our commercial sealant contractors in Small Hythe
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. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Small Hythe first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Small Hythe can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Small Hythe are frequently converted agricultural buildings. 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Questions we are asked in Small Hythe
Is Small Hythe off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Pickhill Business Centre, near Small Hythe, within your area?
Yes, sites like Pickhill Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Small Hythe. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. 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. Halls, stores and units around places like Small Hythe may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.

Quoting for work in Small Hythe
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Advice
When to call us in Small Hythe
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
A lasting commercial joint around Small Hythe begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings for a quote.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
