For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Sydenham Hill can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Floor joint sealing in Sydenham Hill
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. If you have scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can help, on construction joints, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints alike. Most enquiries from Sydenham Hill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. We work through joints a section at a time, closing small areas in turn.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Sydenham Hill
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Sydenham Hill clients
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Is a hospital such as British Home & Hospital for Incurables somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you work in Sydenham Hill?
Yes. We cover Sydenham Hill, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
When to call us in Sydenham Hill
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Filler that has parted from one face
Large sites such as British Home & Hospital for Incurables (to the west of Sydenham Hill) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

What else we do in Sydenham Hill
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Planning a London job such as one in Sydenham Hill starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
