Our commercial sealant contractors service in BN12
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. We work on washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open.
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why choose Mastic Doctor
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Clear, fixed quotes
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
What’s near Ferring
We work on buildings around Chatsmore Catholic High School, St Andrew's Church and Ferring CofE Primary School, among other places. Ferring’s nearest station is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Rustington Museum (2.4 miles west) and Old Castle (2.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Ferring include Highdown Hill.
Where commercial joints are in BN12
Commercial buildings across BN12 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in BN12 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. Coastal places in BN12 often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.
Ferring: For a hotel such as The Seaview Hotel, 1.5 miles to the west of Ferring, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. For tenants and agents on sites such as Goring Business Park, which lies north-east of Ferring, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. Planning the work across a year or a portfolio means fewer separate visits and a predictable spend. We will suggest an order, worst sealant joints first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason, and many specifications refer to it.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over 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. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
BN12: questions and answers
What site paperwork can you provide?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are normally enough to start through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.
