Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally 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, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Broad Oak, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
About our expansion joint sealing in Broad Oak
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Broad Oak. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we are called in for most is arrises breaking up along floor joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Broad Oak first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Broad Oak have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Broad Oak
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Broad Oak lies roughly 48 miles out 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.
Schools like Brede Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Hospital campuses such as Conquest Hospital (4.7 miles south of Broad Oak) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Common questions from Broad Oak clients
Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Broad Oak too far out for you?
Not at all. Broad Oak is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Broad Oak
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Broad Oak can form part of a wider programme across East Sussex.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Halls, stores and units around places like Broad Oak may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
