Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Several jobs near Abbey Field can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Note failing joints building by building
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Can work in a care setting near Abbey Field go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Essex?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

What else we do in Abbey Field
Do you need washroom sealing in Abbey Field?
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
Office washrooms on sites such as Gosbeck's Business Park, 1 mile west of Abbey Field, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
