Commercial sealant contractors in GU32

Commercial sealant contractors across GU32: what to expect

Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, 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 with sites in GU32. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked.

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
2. We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
3. We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
4. We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
5. We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
6. Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

What you’ll pay

Quoting for work in GU32

Before we quote, we look at:

• Access and working height
• The product specified
• Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
• How much existing material needs removing

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we need to price the job

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

• Where the site is, with the postcode
• The type of building and who uses it
• A wide shot and a close-up of the area
• How the joints are reached, and at what height

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Aftercare for building managers

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

• Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
• Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
• Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
• Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records

Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.

Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
