What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Expansion joint sealing around Britwell Salome: how the place shapes the job
Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Britwell Salome. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Rainfall across the South East, Britwell Salome included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
On industrial estates such as Watlington Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles north-east of Britwell Salome, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Another example is Monument Business Park, 2.8 miles north-west of Britwell Salome, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For a school such as Icknield Community College, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Why deal with it now?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Halls, stores and units around places like Britwell Salome may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
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’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Questions about Britwell Salome
Do we have to stop operations in Britwell Salome while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is a smaller place like Britwell Salome outside your area?
No. Places such as Britwell Salome are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
