What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Why it’s worth doing now in Benover
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Benover, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. If others near Benover need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Ask for a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
Common questions from Benover clients
Is Benover off your patch?
Not at all. Benover is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Benover, such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Benover and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Benover
Benover is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Benover is about 30 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
Another example is Forstal Business Park (2.1 miles south-west of Benover), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For an occupier at a site such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate, which lies west of Benover, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. Hospitals like Oakwood Hospital, 4.4 miles to the north-east of Benover, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Benover is about 5 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. If you’re looking for expansion joint sealing in Benover, we can help. Benover is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. London is covered too, around 30 miles from Benover.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
