From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Several jobs near Holborough can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- 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, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Holborough
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant over old, now failing and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Holborough, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Holborough, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photographs and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Across sites such as Pelican View Business Park (2.6 miles north-east of Holborough), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Sites like St. Catherine's Hospital, 4.2 miles north-east of Holborough, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant

Other services in Holborough
Surface by surface
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, and confirm it in the quote.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Quoting for work in Holborough
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

Leave it or put it right?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use. We agree phasing with you before work starts. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
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.

- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Common questions from Holborough clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St. Catherine's Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Holborough outside your area?
Not at all. Holborough is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What exactly is a movement joint?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
