What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Crofton takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Expansion joint sealing in Crofton, done properly
If you need expansion joint sealing in Crofton, start with photos and joint lengths. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough. You can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk the joints through. If you have arrises breaking up along floor joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Crofton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Crofton, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up, so it pays to act early.

Questions about Crofton
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you take on work at estates like Halo Business Park, close to Crofton?
Yes, sites like Halo Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Crofton. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you cover Crofton?
Yes. Crofton falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Crofton
Crofton has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, so the work is broken into short sections agreed with the building manager.
Schools such as Crofton Infant School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Office parks like Halo Business Park, 1.7 miles to the north-east of Crofton, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment

When to call us in Crofton
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
University campuses such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus (4.9 miles north of Crofton) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
