Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.

How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. 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 are dealing with black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and layers of sealant, all of them failing, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover West Heath? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
On a typical commercial building in West Heath, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
A job in a smaller place like West Heath is normally a single building. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in West Heath as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near West Heath may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
When to call us in West Heath
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade will all fail early. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
For tenants and agents on sites such as Berry Court Business Park, which lies east of West Heath, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Proof of insurance
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

What happens if it’s left?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. Converted and older buildings near places like West Heath tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

FAQs: West Heath
Can you match sealant colours for premises in West Heath?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is West Heath off your patch?
No. Places such as West Heath are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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.
