Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is joints packed with grit and debris and previous reseals laid over old sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Witherenden Hill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Witherenden Hill need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Swife Business Park, near Witherenden Hill, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Witherenden Hill, Swife Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Ticehurst House Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we’ll flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

What else we do in Witherenden Hill
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
When to call us in Witherenden Hill
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
For an estate such as Ticehurst House Hospital, 3.4 miles to the north-east of Witherenden Hill, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
