About our expansion joint sealing in Almodington
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, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Almodington. If you’re dealing with brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Almodington is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Almodington are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Older rural buildings around Almodington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with photos.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Joints that move: notes for Almodington
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Almodington. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The 3 miles around Almodington take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Business parks such as Enborne Business Park, 2.1 miles south-east of Almodington, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Across sites such as Ferry Yard Industrial Park (2.5 miles south-east of Almodington), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. In a school such as Birdham CE Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Enborne Business Park, near Almodington?
Yes. Our area takes in Almodington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Enborne Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Does the sea air around Almodington change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you cover Almodington?
Yes. Sites across Almodington are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Almodington are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
