Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a site in Smallfield, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Sealant applicators in Smallfield
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it. Most enquiries involve sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, on movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Smallfield? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Occupied buildings in Smallfield need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Places like Smallfield tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Smallfield as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Smallfield close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is Smallfield too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Smallfield are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What do you need from us to quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
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 joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Common problems we fix in Smallfield
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
Refits at hotels like Langshott Manor Hotel (1.5 miles west of Smallfield) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Smallfield sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. Smallfield has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
