Expansion joint sealing in Lamport
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Jobs in and around smaller places like Lamport are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- 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.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Lamport
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulling off the joint face and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, across precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Lamport, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Lamport, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: 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.

Traffic, movement and joints around Lamport
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Lamport has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Tingewick Road Industrial Estate (2.1 miles south of Lamport): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. A healthcare site such as Buckingham Community Hospital, 1.9 miles south of Lamport, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Lamport is about 2 miles north of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Any commercial site in Lamport is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 308 places across Buckinghamshire fall within our area, Lamport among them. Sites around Oxford have their own page, about 22 miles away.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints.
Why act early in Lamport
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Older rural buildings around Lamport move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- One number for every site we cover
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Moreton Road Industrial Estate, close to Lamport?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lamport, Moreton Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Buckingham Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is Lamport in your area?

Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.

What affects the price in Lamport
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
When to call us in Lamport
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
For a school such as Akeley Wood Senior School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
