Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Sarratt
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in Sarratt. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant pulling off the joint face and previous reseals laid over old sealant. For commercial sealant work in Sarratt, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Sarratt, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Common questions from Sarratt clients
Is a smaller place like Sarratt outside your area?
Not at all. Sarratt is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a site in Sarratt have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Sarratt
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In a school such as Sarratt Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like Sarratt may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- One contact handling all your sites
- Specification-led, product-correct work
