Questions we are asked in Newnham
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Newnham?

Must our site in Newnham stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Do you need to see the site first?

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Newnham
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint. Searching for sealant specialists in Newnham? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site near Newnham, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Converted and older buildings near places like Newnham tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Newnham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- 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.
- 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
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Nearby places to Newnham
Also in Newnham
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
When to call us in Newnham
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
In and around Newnham, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Joints that move: notes for Newnham

The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
