Commercial sealant contractors across E6: what to expect
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in, and in an occupied building failure typically announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in E6. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal.
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Around East Ham
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Miller's Well pub, The Service for Deaf and Partially Hearing Children and St Bartholomew's Church. Other local landmarks include Langdon School (0.5 miles north-east), St Michael's Catholic Primary School (under half a mile north-east) and Beckton District Park (1 mile south-west). East Ham’s nearest station is Barking station, about 1.3 miles north-east. Nearby you will also find Greenwich Castle (4.3 miles south-west) and Gallions Reach Shopping Park (1.6 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Ripple Nature Reserve and Hollow Pond.
Commercial premises across E6
In E6, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Plaistow, Canning Town and Barking. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
We work across Greater London and the South East counties, so jobs in E6 are planned with access, loading and parking in mind.
East Ham: Shops and cafés around stations like Barking station (1.3 miles north-east of East Ham) trade from early, so work is timed around them. Retail sites such as Beckton Triangle Retail Park, 0.7 miles to the south-east of East Ham, are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
Quoting for work in E6
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common questions from E6 clients
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
