Joints that move: notes for Highbrook
Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Highbrook. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Highbrook 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, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For buildings at a park such as Horsted Keynes Business Park (1.1 miles south-east of Highbrook), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Large sites such as Princess Royal Hospital, 4.6 miles south of Highbrook, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Hangdown Mead Business Park (1.6 miles north-east of Highbrook): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Advice
What affects the price in Highbrook
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Why it’s worth doing now in Highbrook
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Halls, stores and units around places like Highbrook may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Site staff or a sealant 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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
FAQs: Highbrook
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Princess Royal Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Highbrook too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
