Expansion joint sealing in Walderslade
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. If you have movement joints with split or torn sealant and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Walderslade tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Walderslade, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Questions about Walderslade
Is a hospital such as Spire Alexandra Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Walderslade outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
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’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Why act early in Walderslade
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
