About our expansion joint sealing in Boarshead
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. Site teams most often ask us about spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Boarshead, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Boarshead are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Boarshead
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
For a school such as Beacon Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Boarshead, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. Where it helps, we quote both options. Around Boarshead, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: 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
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

FAQs: Boarshead
Will you take on work at estates like Crowborough Business Park, close to Boarshead?
Yes. Our area takes in Boarshead and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Crowborough Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Boarshead outside your area?
No. Places such as Boarshead are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
