Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Old Heathfield can form part of a wider programme.
About our washroom sealing in Old Heathfield
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. Site teams most often ask us about resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and sealant lifting along a tray edge, across vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Old Heathfield is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller places such as Old Heathfield still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Note failing joints building by building
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Heathfield are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Questions about Old Heathfield
Is Old Heathfield off your patch?
No. Places such as Old Heathfield are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hellingly Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Older rural buildings around Old Heathfield move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
