Expansion joint sealing in Westborough, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are layers of sealant in a movement joint and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Most enquiries from Westborough start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Westborough, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What affects the price in Westborough
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westborough
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind. Where it helps, we quote both options. Small buildings around Westborough suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Questions we are asked in Westborough
Is Westborough off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Guildford Industrial Estate, close to Westborough?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Westborough, Guildford Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Westborough need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Westborough
Westborough sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. The 3 miles around Westborough take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
For an occupier at a site such as Guildford Industrial Estate, under half a mile east of Westborough, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear. For a centre such as Ladymead Retail Park, which lies east of Westborough, the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first. Hospital campuses such as Royal Surrey County Hospital, 0.5 miles to the south-west of Westborough, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Westborough is about 1 mile west of Guildford, in Surrey. Westborough sits inside our coverage and the rest of Surrey, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 379 places in Surrey, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Reading, around 21 miles from Westborough.

Other landmarks nearby include Royal Surrey County Hospital (0.6 miles south-west) and Guildford Cathedral Treasury (0.5 miles south-east).

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
