How we handle expansion joint sealing in Good Easter
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you have water dripping through deck or ramp joints and debris jammed in movement joints, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Good Easter tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Jobs around smaller places like Good Easter are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Good Easter
Good Easter is about 28 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Good Easter is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Hospital campuses such as Broomfield Hospital (to the east of Good Easter) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Office parks like Parklands Business Centre, 2.4 miles west of Good Easter, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Campuses like Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus (to the south-east of Good Easter) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Common questions from Good Easter clients
Is a smaller place like Good Easter outside your area?
Not at all. Good Easter is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Broomfield Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Good Easter are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, normally low-modulus, with backing rod setting the depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
