When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Cade Street
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joints packed with grit and debris and sealant peeling off one face of the joint. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Cade Street it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Cade Street, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Cade Street, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Is Cade Street off your patch?
Not at all. Cade Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Cade Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.

- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Advice
Expansion joint sealing around Cade Street: what changes locally
Rainfall across the South East, Cade Street included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Less than 3 miles from Cade Street there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Across sites such as Ghyll Road Industrial Estate, which lies west of Cade Street, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. For an occupier at a site such as Station Road Industrial Estate (1.1 miles west of Cade Street), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Cade Street
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Schools such as Heathfield Community College have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
