How commercial sealant contractors works in PO22
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. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open.
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What you’ll pay
A quote for sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Commercial sealant contractors across PO22: the area picture
Commercial buildings across PO22 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.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in PO22 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up. On the coastal side of PO22, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Middleton-on-Sea: For premises near Bognor Regis station, 2.5 miles to the west of Middleton-on-Sea, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Occupiers with premises at both Ford Airfield Industrial Estate and Southern Cross Trading Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. If that happens, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will price putting it right.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. A few splits this year normally mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
PO22: questions and answers
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What do you need from us to quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Is your work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, quoted per building or as a package.
Is PO22 in your area?
Yes. We take on work across PO22.
