Expansion joint sealing for businesses in Tye Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tye Green are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Tye Green
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve water getting into the wall through a failed joint and sealant pulling off the joint face, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Tye Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Tye Green, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Common problems we fix in Tye Green
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Schools such as Wimbish Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Common questions from Tye Green clients
Does a site in Tye Green have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Tye Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first so you are not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. We agree a revised date with you.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.

For an estate such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Tye Green, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
