Why act early in Worth
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Converted and older buildings near places like Worth tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Worth
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Expansion joint sealing in Worth, done properly
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Worth. Most enquiries involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Worth it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Worth
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Worth are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps

Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
