Expansion joint sealing in Chiddingstone Causeway
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Chiddingstone Causeway? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Chiddingstone Causeway have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Cost factors for movement joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Chiddingstone Causeway. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Common questions from Chiddingstone Causeway clients
Must our site in Chiddingstone Causeway stop work while the joints are done?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is a smaller place like Chiddingstone Causeway outside your area?
Not at all. Chiddingstone Causeway is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What will the job 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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
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.
