How we handle expansion joint sealing in Motspur Park
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you have expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Motspur Park, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Motspur Park, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Surface by surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.

What else we do in Motspur Park
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Cost factors for movement joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Motspur Park can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Motspur Park where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Is Shannon Commercial Centre, near Motspur Park, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Motspur Park, Shannon Commercial Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Do you cover Motspur Park?
Yes. Motspur Park falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
When to call us in Motspur Park
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Centres like Bentall Centre (2.4 miles west of Motspur Park) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
