FAQs: Burlington Estate
Can you work on a hospital site such as The London Welbeck Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Burlington Estate, such as Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre.?
Yes, sites like Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre. Are within our area, along with the rest of Burlington Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks typically need a polyurethane.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
About our expansion joint sealing in Burlington Estate
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and arrises breaking up along floor joints. Whoever orders the work in Burlington Estate, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Burlington Estate, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Burlington Estate as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Burlington Estate
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Why act early in Burlington Estate
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Burlington Estate takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.

What else we do in Burlington Estate
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached
