How commercial sealant contractors works in CM7
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. We work on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and expansion joints with the sealant torn out.
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
- 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- 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.

Shops, offices and hotels in CM7
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Braintree, Bocking and Bocking Churchstreet all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, so jobs in CM7 are planned with access, loading and parking in mind.
Braintree: Refits at hotels like Old Court Hotel, under half a mile north-west of Braintree, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. A business with units at Springwood Industrial Estate and Lanham Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Building owners, agents and FMs in CM7
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Why act early?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Why it fails
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
Questions about CM7
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, across South East England, Greater London and all of Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee from handover. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients as well as contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send what you have, even a few photographs and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
How long before the joints can be used?
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.
