Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Expansion joint sealing in Bedgrove, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. Site teams most often ask us about chipped joint edges on forklift routes and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, across precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bedgrove tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around places the size of Bedgrove, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Bedgrove can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and we clear our waste as we work. For a site in Bedgrove, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Questions we’re asked in Bedgrove
Can you work at a site such as Fountain Business Centre, by Bedgrove?
Yes, sites like Fountain Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Bedgrove. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Stoke Mandeville Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. In a smaller place such as Bedgrove, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Expansion joint sealing in Bedgrove: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Bedgrove included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Bedgrove. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Large sites such as Stoke Mandeville Hospital (1 mile south-west of Bedgrove) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Another example is Vale Retail Park, 1.2 miles north-west of Bedgrove, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Office parks like Fountain Business Centre, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Bedgrove, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Bedgrove is about 2 miles south-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Anywhere in HP21, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.
