Commercial sealant contractors for Staplestreet sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Sealant applicators in Staplestreet
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. We work on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are expansion joints with the sealant torn out and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Staplestreet, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Staplestreet can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Work in smaller places such as Staplestreet tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Staplestreet
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’ll suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. Around Staplestreet, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Staplestreet may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Commercial premises in Staplestreet
Rainfall across the South East, Staplestreet included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. Staplestreet has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
If you run an office at a site such as Waterham Business Park, 2 miles north-east of Staplestreet, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Shops and cafés around stations like Selling station, 1.9 miles to the south of Staplestreet, trade from early, so work is timed around them. A business with units at Waterham Business Park and Lamberhurst Farm Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Staplestreet is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Commercial clients in Staplestreet use us for work on sealant joints. Staplestreet is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for sealant joints. Our London page has more on work in that area.

Your questions answered
Is Waterham Business Park, near Staplestreet, within your area?
Yes, sites like Waterham Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Staplestreet. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Staplestreet?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do we get a quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, then a fixed quote.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we are sealing.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Cost factors for sealant joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
A quote for sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
