Questions about West Kensington
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Charing Cross 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?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Expansion joint sealing in West Kensington
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. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints. For commercial sealant work in West Kensington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around West Kensington, as across London, joints are under constant load, from basement car parks and loading bays to podium decks and busy mall floors. A failed joint lets water and debris in, and the edges soon spall, so it pays to act early.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in West Kensington as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote

- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in West Kensington
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Another example is Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre. (1.7 miles east of West Kensington), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Traffic, movement and joints around West Kensington
Few London car parks or loading bays can be taken out of use for more than a short spell, which is why we work a few bays at a time. Less than 3 miles from West Kensington there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
A campus such as University of Westminster (to the north of West Kensington) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. For buildings at a park such as Berghem Mews Business Village, 0.7 miles to the north-west of West Kensington, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

For managing agents and facilities managers

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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Why act early in West Kensington
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. In West Kensington, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
