About our expansion joint sealing in The Chart
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in The Chart. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. For commercial sealant work in The Chart, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like The Chart have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around The Chart, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Quoting for work in The Chart
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement, with primer where specified.
Warehouse floors and decks around The Chart
Rainfall across the South East, The Chart included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Central London is about 18 miles from The Chart. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Large sites such as Tandridge Priory, 0.6 miles north-west of The Chart, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Schools such as Limpsfield CofE Infant School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
The Chart is about 6 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. If you are looking for expansion joint sealing in The Chart, we can help, as we do across Surrey. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including The Chart. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 18 miles away.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Tandridge Priory?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is The Chart too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. The Chart is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
