Expansion joint sealing in Streat
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Streat
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. Most enquiries involve new sealant over old, now failing and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, across cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Streat from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Jobs around smaller places like Streat are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Streat
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. If others near Streat need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows
Quotes
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.

When to call us in Streat
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
University campuses such as University of Sussex (to the north-east of Streat) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Common questions from Streat clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Streat off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Quoting for work in Streat
These are the things that shape the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Traffic, movement and joints around Streat
Streat lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Streat sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Schools such as Plumpton Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Office parks like Ditchling Common Business Park, 2 miles to the north of Streat, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
