Questions about Edenbridge
Must our site in Edenbridge stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Edenbridge outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
About our expansion joint sealing in Edenbridge
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in Edenbridge. Most enquiries involve new sealant over old, now failing and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Edenbridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Edenbridge, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Traffic, movement and joints around Edenbridge
Edenbridge sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Edenbridge is about 22 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
A healthcare site such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital (0.8 miles south of Edenbridge) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools such as Edenbridge Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Quoting for work in Edenbridge
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed. In a smaller place such as Edenbridge, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Edenbridge need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
