FAQs: Shottermill
Can you work on a hospital site such as Holy Cross Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Shottermill outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Expansion joint sealing in Shottermill
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulling off the joint face and previous reseals laid over old sealant. Whoever orders the work in Shottermill, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Work in a smaller place like Shottermill is usually one building at a time. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface

Internal floor movement joints
