Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Expansion joint sealing in Wendlebury, done properly
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, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Wendlebury. Most enquiries involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Searching for sealant specialists in Wendlebury? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Wendlebury, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Wendlebury, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Common problems we fix in Wendlebury
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
Look out for the following:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Talisman Business Centre (2.1 miles north-east of Wendlebury): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Wendlebury
Wendlebury is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Wendlebury is about 53 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Places like Bicester Shopping Park (to the north-east of Wendlebury) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside. Sites like Bicester Community Hospital (2 miles north-east of Wendlebury) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
