Nuneham Courtenay: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Sandford Lane Industrial Estate, by Nuneham Courtenay?
Yes. Our area takes in Nuneham Courtenay and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Sandford Lane Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Littlemore Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners.

We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. Whoever orders the work in Nuneham Courtenay, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Nuneham Courtenay can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Nuneham Courtenay

What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For a centre such as Oxford Retail Park, 2.6 miles to the north of Nuneham Courtenay, the service yard and car park joints usually need attention first.

- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
