Joints that move: notes for Broomfield
Broomfield lies roughly 36 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Broomfield is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
A healthcare site such as KIMS hospital (to the north-west of Broomfield) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Broomfield is about 5 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Anywhere in ME17, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 931 places in Kent. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 36 miles away.

Expansion joint sealing in Broomfield, done properly
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. 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 for buildings in Broomfield. Most enquiries involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Broomfield, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Broomfield have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Broomfield, 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.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What we are called out for in Broomfield
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Look out for the following:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Parks like Roebuck Business Park (1.6 miles east of Broomfield) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Comparing quotes
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints

FAQs: Broomfield
Does your area include sites such as Roebuck Business Park, near Broomfield?
Yes. We cover Broomfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Roebuck Business Park. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Broomfield outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
