Expansion joint sealing in Jacob's Post, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and layers of sealant in a movement joint. Searching for sealant specialists in Jacob's Post? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Jacob's Post have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Jacob's Post
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Jacob's Post can form part of a wider programme.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

What happens if it’s left?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Around Jacob's Post, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Your questions answered
Is Jacob's Post off your patch?
Not at all. Jacob's Post is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Dene Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available and we’ll plan around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Cost factors for movement joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Jacob's Post
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, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Jacob's Post lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
For buildings at a park such as Ashwyn Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the north of Jacob's Post, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. In a school such as The Gattons Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Large sites such as The Dene Hospital (to the west of Jacob's Post) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Jacob's Post need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
