When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Sealant applicators in Upper Street
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Upper Street? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
On a typical commercial building in Upper Street, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Upper Street tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Cost factors for sealant joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Upper Street: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Upper Street, such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Upper Street, Arch Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Upper Street too far out for you?
No. Places such as Upper Street 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.
Can areas stay open 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, until its cure time has passed.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Upper Street may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for 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.

Commercial sealant contractors in Upper Street: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Upper Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Upper Street. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
A business with units at Arch Farm Industrial Estate and Sandleheath Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. A unit on an estate like Arch Farm Industrial Estate (to the south of Upper Street) usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
