Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.
About our expansion joint sealing in Chicheley
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you’re dealing with water dripping through deck or ramp joints and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chicheley first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Chicheley have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Chicheley can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Questions we are asked in Chicheley
Can you work on a hospital site such as Milton Keynes University Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Chicheley off your patch?
Not at all. Chicheley is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Chicheley can form part of a wider programme.
Joints that move: notes for Chicheley
Chicheley lies roughly 49 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Chicheley sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools like Sherington Church of England School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. For buildings at a park such as Cromwell Business Park, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Chicheley, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
Chicheley is about 2 miles north-east of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. We cover Chicheley and the rest of Milton Keynes, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Chicheley?
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, typically means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way unless width and product are reviewed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Hospitals like Milton Keynes University Hospital, 5.8 miles to the south of Chicheley, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
