Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

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. Site teams most often ask us about damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and movement joints with split or torn sealant, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Ufton Nervet, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Ufton Nervet have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Ufton Nervet
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Ufton Nervet. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.

Questions we’re asked in Ufton Nervet
Can you work at a site such as Theale Lakes Business Park, by Ufton Nervet?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ufton Nervet, Theale Lakes Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Ufton Nervet outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Why act early in Ufton Nervet
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like Ufton Nervet may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

What affects the price in Ufton Nervet
What shapes the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Smaller jobs around Ufton Nervet can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
