Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For a building around Kitwood, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

About our expansion joint sealing in Kitwood
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. 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 phasing can keep areas working. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kitwood first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Kitwood have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Alton Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Kitwood, such as Mansfield Business Park?
Yes. We cover Kitwood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mansfield Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.

Quoting for work in Kitwood
These are the things that shape the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any dates the work must fit around
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What happens if it’s left?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Around Kitwood, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Kitwood is about 50 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Kitwood?
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
