Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces.
Expansion joint sealing in Virginia Water
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have sealant pulling off the joint face and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Virginia Water? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In a smaller place such as Virginia Water, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Virginia Water
Does your area include sites such as Hersham Farm Business Park, near Virginia Water?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Virginia Water, Hersham Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Peter's Hospital?
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.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
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 the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

When to call us in Virginia Water
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Egham Business Park (1.7 miles north-east of Virginia Water): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Why act early in Virginia Water
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Small buildings around Virginia Water suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
