Commercial sealant contractors in HP5

Our commercial sealant contractors service in HP5

Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, across floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points.

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved.

1. We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Maintenance after handover

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

• Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
• Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
• Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
• Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up

Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.

Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.

What sets the cost

These are the things that shape the price:

• Distance, for remote addresses
• Working within restricted access windows
• Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
• Access and working height

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

• Clear photos of the problem areas
• Whether the building will be occupied during the work
• The product your specification calls for
• Any dates the work must fit around

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
