Expansion joint sealing for Brick Hill sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Brick Hill are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- 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.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Brick Hill
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. The enquiries we see most involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Brick Hill? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Brick Hill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

FAQs: Brick Hill
Would you work within a site like Heatherwood Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work at a site such as Hersham Farm Business Park, by Brick Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Brick Hill, Hersham Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Brick Hill
Brick Hill is about 25 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Brick Hill 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 winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For an estate such as Heatherwood Hospital, 3.6 miles to the north-west of Brick Hill, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. For a school such as Valley End CofE Infant School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A campus such as Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (to the north of Brick Hill) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
Brick Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Woking, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Brick Hill for work on movement joints. Brick Hill is one of 379 places we cover in Surrey. We also cover Reading, around 16 miles from Brick Hill.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brick Hill
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Brick Hill, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
