Our commercial sealant contractors service in RH15
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. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. Most enquiries involve shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, on movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints.
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Burgess Hill
We work on buildings around St John the Evangelist's Church, The Six Gold Martlets pub and Oakmeeds Community College, among other places. Nearby too are Burgess Hill Girls (0.5 miles south) and St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School (under half a mile south-west). There’s a railway station in Burgess Hill itself: Burgess Hill station.

Commercial sealant contractors across RH15: the area picture
In RH15, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Burgess Hill, Lewes and World's End. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in RH15 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Burgess Hill: If you run an office at a site such as Ashwyn Business Centre, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Burgess Hill, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Shops and cafés around stations like Burgess Hill station, less than half a mile south of Burgess Hill, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
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.
Building owners, agents and FMs in RH15
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around RH15. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What affects the price in RH15
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
RH15: questions and answers
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee, starting at sign-off. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
