Commercial sealant contractors across CT9: what to expect
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: 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 wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings, on external facade joints, washrooms and tea points and movement joints in walls and floors.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
How we quote
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why choose Mastic Doctor
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- CSCS-carded applicators

Landmarks near Margate
Around Margate, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Salmestone Primary School and Hartsdown Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Margate station, roughly 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Westwood Cross (1.6 miles south) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (less than half a mile south-east). Open spaces near Margate include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Commercial premises across CT9
Commercial buildings across CT9 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, so jobs in CT9 are planned with access, loading and parking in mind. On the coastal side of CT9, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first.
Margate: In hotels such as Former 'Man Of Kent' Temperance Hotel, which lies north-west of Margate, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. A business with units at All Saints Industrial Estate and College Square Shopping Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why deal with it now?
Spot repairs have their place. Where the remaining sealant is just as old, it tends to fail soon after, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Why it fails
In wet areas the enemy is normally mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Building owners, agents and FMs in CT9
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
CT9: questions and answers
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
Do you cover CT9?
Yes. We take on work across CT9, with one number for every area we cover.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
