Expansion joint sealing in Hutton
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new sealant over old, now failing and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hutton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Hutton often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.

Common problems we fix in Hutton
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Large sites such as Brentwood Community Hospital, 1.9 miles to the west of Hutton, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Questions about Hutton
Is Hutton off your patch?
Not at all. Hutton is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Brentwood Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Warehouse floors and decks around Hutton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Hutton lies roughly 21 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
For a school such as Willowbrook Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Work in places the size of Hutton is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out any areas we must not close
