How commercial sealant contractors works in BH21
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors.
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Near you in Broxhill
Recent enquiries here include premises near Church of St James. Nearby you will also find Cranborne Castle Hill (2.1 miles west) and Fordingbridge Museum (3.6 miles east). The countryside around Broxhill includes Blashford Lakes.
Commercial premises across BH21
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Broxhill all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in BH21 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.
Broxhill: Occupiers with premises at both Sandleheath Industrial Estate and Fordingbridge Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. A unit on an estate like Sandleheath Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Broxhill) usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a photo.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
Why deal with it now?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Common problems we fix in BH21
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
Questions about BH21
What about asbestos in old mastic?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
