What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Alciston
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have sealant peeling off one face of the joint and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Alciston, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Alciston, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Alciston can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Sussex.
Alciston: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park, by Alciston?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Alciston, Berwick Court Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Alciston off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Why act early in Alciston
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Halls, stores and units around places like Alciston may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why clients in Alciston choose us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Cost factors for movement joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. If others near Alciston need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
