Expansion joint sealing across Boreham Street
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like Boreham Street may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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 will explain how it’s made up.

- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- One contact handling all your sites

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Boreham Street
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you have damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Boreham Street? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Boreham Street have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common problems we fix in Boreham Street
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
A healthcare site such as Amberstone Hospital (to the west of Boreham Street) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

- Who will actually carry out the work

Where floor joints take the most wear near Boreham Street
At about 47 miles from central London, Boreham Street is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Boreham Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For floors and slabs around Boreham Street, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Your questions answered
Does a site in Boreham Street have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Amberstone Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Boreham Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- 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.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
