Stubbles: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Stubbles outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the sealant on our Stubbles premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Commercial mastic work in Stubbles
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. If you’re dealing with untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Stubbles? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
If you look after more than one building near Stubbles, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
In and around smaller places such as Stubbles, the commercial buildings we are 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed. If that happens, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll price putting it right.
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.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
