Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in St John's
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you have previous reseals laid over old sealant and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in St John's, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places the size of St John's, 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. For buildings in places like St John's, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

At about 25 miles from central London, St John's is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.

Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Warehouse floors on estates like Goldsworth Park Trading Estate (0.9 miles north of St John's) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. A healthcare site such as Cygnet Hospital (0.9 miles west of St John's) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For estates staff at a university like University of Surrey, 4.4 miles south of St John's, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

What affects the price in St John's
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like St John's outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Cygnet Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

What else we do in St John's
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around St John's need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
