Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
About our expansion joint sealing in Epping Green
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. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. Site teams most often ask us about joints packed with grit and debris and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Epping Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Jobs around smaller places like Epping Green are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What affects the price in Epping Green
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:

- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Questions we’re asked in Epping Green
Can you work at a site such as Latton Bush Business Centre, by Epping Green?
Yes. We cover Epping Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Latton Bush Business Centre. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Saint Margaret's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first, because the fix differs.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Epping Green
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
