Sealant specialists in Southernden
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure typically announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in Southernden. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. If you are dealing with greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, we can put it right, on movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Southernden it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
If you look after more than one building near Southernden, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
In and around smaller places such as Southernden, the commercial buildings we’re asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Commercial sealant contractors around Southernden: what changes locally
Southernden 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. At about 39 miles from central London, Southernden is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.
Premises within reach of Headcorn station (2.1 miles south-west of Southernden) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. If you run a unit on an estate such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate (2.4 miles west of Southernden), the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Southernden is about 8 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters

Which site documents can you send us?

Do you work in Southernden?
Yes. We cover Southernden, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Southernden, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Commercial clients in Southernden
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Southernden can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
