From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Speedwell, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

About our expansion joint sealing in Speedwell
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Speedwell. If you are dealing with sealant pulling off the joint face and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Speedwell? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Speedwell, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Around Speedwell, 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.
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 rules also count.

Speedwell is about 40 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Rainfall across the South East, Speedwell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Schools such as Woburn Lower School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Hospital campuses such as Bletchley Community Hospital, 5.9 miles to the west of Speedwell, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Questions we’re asked in Speedwell
Would you work within a site like Bletchley Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will our site in Speedwell have to close for joint sealing?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
