Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. Where it helps, we quote both options. Halls, stores and units around places like Waldershare may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- One contact handling all your sites
- Colour agreed before work starts
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Waldershare
Waldershare lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. Waldershare is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For an occupier at a site such as Pike Road Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Waldershare, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear. For a school such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Hospital campuses such as Buckland Hospital, 4.2 miles south of Waldershare, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near Waldershare need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Questions we are asked in Waldershare
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Buckland Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Waldershare off your patch?
Not at all. Waldershare 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 follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
