Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Arundel & District Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Slindon Common too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can usually carry on regardless.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Slindon Common
We cover the full range of movement joints: 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. If you have movement joints with split or torn sealant and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Slindon Common, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Slindon Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Warehouse floors and decks around Slindon Common
The 3 miles around Slindon Common take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Schools like Slindon CofE Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Hospital campuses such as Arundel & District Community Hospital, 2.5 miles to the east of Slindon Common, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Another example is Sussex Business Village, which lies south of Slindon Common, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Around Slindon Common, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Slindon Common need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
