About our expansion joint sealing in Notting Hill
Width, depth and product all have to work together. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we are called in for most is spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and water dripping through deck or ramp joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Notting Hill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. When a joint fails, grit and water get in and the arrises start to break up.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Notting Hill as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Notting Hill
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- 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.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
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.

At a retail site such as Kensington Arcade, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Notting Hill, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. Sites like St Charles' Hospital (to the north-west of Notting Hill) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. At places like Berghem Mews Business Village, 1 mile south-west of Notting Hill, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)

Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
