Our commercial sealant contractors service in ME20
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’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points.
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant contractors across ME20: the area picture
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Allington, Ditton and Aylesford all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and ME20 is part of the area we cover.
Ditton: For a hotel such as Hamlet Hotel Maidstone, 0.8 miles north-west of Ditton, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Retail sites such as South Aylesford Retail Park (to the east of Ditton) are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants

Why deal with it now?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
Common questions from ME20 clients
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients as well as contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.
Which site documents can you send us?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
