What affects the price in Streatham Hill
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Expansion joint sealing in Streatham Hill, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. Most enquiries involve layers of sealant in a movement joint and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Streatham Hill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Floor and movement joints in London take heavy use: car park decks, loading bays, shopping centre malls and podiums over occupied space. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

What we’re called out for in Streatham Hill
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Hospital campuses such as British Home & Hospital for Incurables (to the south-east of Streatham Hill) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Comparing quotes
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Streatham Hill takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why appoint us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

Questions we are asked in Streatham Hill
Can you work at a site such as Zennor Road Industrial Estate, by Streatham Hill?
Yes. We cover Streatham Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Zennor Road Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as British Home & Hospital for Incurables?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Streatham Hill
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work 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, and we clear our waste as we work. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
