Questions we’re asked in Upper Street
Is a smaller place like Upper Street outside your area?
No. Places such as Upper Street are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
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.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Street
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Upper Street it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Upper Street
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Upper Street?
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
At places like Sandleheath Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles south-west of Upper Street, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Joints that move: notes for Upper Street
Upper Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Upper Street has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Sites like Fordingbridge Hospital, 2.5 miles south of Upper Street, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Estates like Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 2 miles south of Upper Street, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

What happens if it’s left?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Around Upper Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Upper Street can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Blockwork control joints
