About our expansion joint sealing in Adur
For movement joints in Adur, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to talk the joints through. If you’re dealing with spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Adur first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Adur, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

FAQs: Adur
Is Adur off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Southlands 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.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we’ll plan around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond, so the new seal holds.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Adur can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Related advice
What we are called out for in Adur
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Schools such as The Sir Robert Woodard Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Traffic, movement and joints around Adur
Adur is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Adur is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Hospital campuses such as Southlands Hospital (1.7 miles south-east of Adur) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. If you manage units on an estate such as Dolphin Industrial Estate, 2 miles south-east of Adur, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
