Commercial sealant contractors across TN18: what to expect
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photographs, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk it through. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops.
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
How we quote
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Commercial sealant contractors across TN18: the area picture
Commercial buildings across TN18 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and we cover TN18 along with the rest of the region.
Hawkhurst: For tenants and agents on sites such as Hawkhurst Station Business Park (1 mile north of Hawkhurst), office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. In hotels such as The Queen's Hotel, under half a mile south-east of Hawkhurst, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around TN18. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Your questions answered
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
That comes down to planning: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
