Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Lindsell while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Lindsell can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, 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.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Related advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Lindsell?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Look out for the following:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Schools such as Putteridge High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Expansion joint sealing around Lindsell: points for this area
Central London is about 36 miles from Lindsell. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Lindsell is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For floors and slabs around Lindsell, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What the job involves on each surface
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, with backing rod setting the depth.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Converted and older buildings near places like Lindsell tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
