Floors, slabs and movement joints in Charlton
At about 57 miles from central London, Charlton is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Charlton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Another example is Grovelands Shopping Centre, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Charlton, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For buildings at a park such as Elms Farm Business Park, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Charlton, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. For a school such as Charlton Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Charlton
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve debris jammed in movement joints and arrises breaking up along floor joints, on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Charlton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places the size of Charlton, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
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.

What else we do in Charlton
Building owners, agents and FMs in Charlton
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why it’s worth doing now in Charlton
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Questions about Charlton
Does your area include sites such as Elms Farm Business Park, near Charlton?
Yes. Our area takes in Charlton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Elms Farm Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Charlton outside your area?
No. Places such as Charlton are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a site in Charlton, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.

Advice
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
