How we handle expansion joint sealing in Reigate
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. We work on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Reigate? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Joints in town car parks and service yards take tyres, de-icing salt and standing water. Resealing before the edges break up is far less disruptive than repairing them later.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Reigate
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
Parks like Chesterfield Business Park, 1.4 miles to the west of Reigate, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

Traffic, movement and joints around Reigate
At about 19 miles from central London, Reigate is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Reigate is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For an estate such as East Surrey Hospital (2.1 miles south-east of Reigate), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Across sites such as Kingsfield Business Centre (1.6 miles east of Reigate), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. If you’re looking for expansion joint sealing in Reigate, we can help, as we do across Surrey. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Reigate. We also cover London, around 19 miles from Reigate.
Commercial sites across RH2 and RH1 are covered for movement joints. For a building on High Street, London Road and Church Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for movement joints. Reigate sits on or close to the A25 and A217, useful when we plan access and materials. If your building is just outside Reigate, we cover South Park (1 mile south), Margery (2 miles north), Mogador (2 miles north-west), Sidlow (2 miles south) and Irons Bottom (2 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles south), Ewell (8 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (6 miles north-east) and Dorking (6 miles west).

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Surface by surface
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.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Common questions from Reigate clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as East Surrey Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do we have to stop operations in Reigate while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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 work in Reigate?
Yes. We take on work across Reigate.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Reigate are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s typically simpler.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
