Our commercial sealant contractors service in TN28
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. 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 mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or 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.
Pricing in TN28

Shops, offices and hotels in TN28
Commercial buildings across TN28 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.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in TN28 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. In the parts of TN28 near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first.
New Romney: Industrial estates such as Peak Industrial Park (2.3 miles south-west of New Romney) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. Refits at hotels like The Ship Hotel, under half a mile to the north of New Romney, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. Where the remaining sealant is just as old, it tends to fail soon after, so access and set-up end up being paid for twice. We can price both options so you can decide on the facts.

Quoting for work in TN28
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions about TN28
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we get a quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and we will put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is TN28 in your area?
Yes. TN28 is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
