How commercial sealant contractors works in CO2
If you look after more than one building, a single sealant contractor saves a lot of chasing. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us, handled with the same process each time: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. To get a programme moving in CO2, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site addresses. The enquiries we see most involve earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, across movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and window and door perimeters.
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
What you will pay
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why choose Mastic Doctor
- One number for every site we cover
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Around Berechurch
In Berechurch, that means premises near St Margarets, Thomas Lord Audley School and Language College and Donyland Lodge, among other places. The nearest railway station is Colchester Town station, roughly 1.8 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Essex County Hospital (1.9 miles north) and Colchester Castle (2.1 miles north). Not far away are Roman River Valley.
Where commercial joints are in CO2
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Colchester, Camulodunum and Greenstead all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in CO2 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Berechurch: Premises within reach of Colchester Town station, 1.8 miles to the north of Berechurch, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Grange Way Business Park and Whitehall Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Building owners, agents and FMs in CO2
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. CO2 can form part of a wider programme across Essex.
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation.
Comparing quotes
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Common problems we fix in CO2
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
CO2: questions and answers
Is CO2 in your area?
Yes. We take on work across CO2, with one number for every area we cover.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
