What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints

Expansion joint sealing in St. Ebbes, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in St. Ebbes, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places the size of St. Ebbes, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common problems we fix in St. Ebbes
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Large sites such as Warneford Hospital, 1.6 miles to the east of St. Ebbes, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Proof of insurance
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Advice
St. Ebbes: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Warneford Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is St. Ebbes too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. St. Ebbes is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
