Expansion joint sealing in Nately Scures, done properly
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Nately Scures. We work on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and debris jammed in movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nately Scures 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.
Jobs around smaller places like Nately Scures are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nately Scures are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- 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.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Questions we are asked in Nately Scures
Is Nately Scures too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Optrex Business Centre, near Nately Scures?
Yes. Our area takes in Nately Scures and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Optrex Business Centre included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
Do you seal on top of existing 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.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines, and report any chipped edges early.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, typically low-modulus laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Why act early in Nately Scures
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Halls, stores and units around places like Nately Scures may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
