Expansion joint sealing in Broomfield
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can put it right, on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. Most enquiries from Broomfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Work in a smaller place like Broomfield is typically one building at a time, so we gather photographs and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Sealing early protects the edges.

Other services in Broomfield
Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Why act early in Broomfield
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Small buildings around Broomfield suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

FAQs: Broomfield
Does your area include sites such as Regiment Business Park, near Broomfield?
Yes. Our area takes in Broomfield and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Regiment Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Broomfield off your patch?
No. Places such as Broomfield are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Traffic, movement and joints around Broomfield
At about 31 miles from central London, Broomfield is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Broomfield is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
On a site such as Regiment Business Park, 0.8 miles east of Broomfield, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. A healthcare site such as Broomfield Hospital (to the north-west of Broomfield) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For a centre such as Riverside Retail Park, 2.4 miles to the south of Broomfield, the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first.
