Doing it in-house
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, which is what makes a joint last.
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Little Ickford
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have movement joints with split or torn sealant and debris jammed in movement joints, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Little Ickford tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In and around smaller places like Little Ickford, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
When to call us in Little Ickford
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- New sealant over old, now failing
Large sites such as Thame Community Hospital (3.7 miles east of Little Ickford) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.

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, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Little Ickford, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Little Ickford outside your area?
No. Places such as Little Ickford are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Thame Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
