Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Albourne Green
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. If you are dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Albourne Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Albourne Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Albourne Green are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Albourne Green?
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
In a school such as Albourne CofE Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Albourne Green: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as The Dene Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Albourne Green 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. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Albourne Green. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Office parks like Kings Business Centre (0.8 miles north of Albourne Green) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Large sites such as The Dene Hospital, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Albourne Green, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, normally low-modulus.

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
