Commercial sealant contractors in SO41

Commercial sealant contractors in SO41: how it works

Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure normally 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 looking after property in SO41. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. Most enquiries involve frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and movement joints packed with grit and debris, across movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks, and we clear our waste as we work.

1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
2. The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
3. Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
4. Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
5. Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
6. Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Maintenance after handover

Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:

• Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
• Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
• Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
• Respect the cure time before reopening an area

Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces.

Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. A few splits this year typically mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
