Expansion joint sealing across Ash Vale

Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Ash Vale
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Ash Vale. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Ash Vale? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Ash Vale often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a job in Ash Vale, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Small buildings around Ash Vale suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

What else we do in Ash Vale
Where floor joints take the most wear near Ash Vale
Rainfall across the South East, Ash Vale included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Ash Vale has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
A campus such as University for the Creative Arts, 4.9 miles to the south-west of Ash Vale, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. Centres like Westgate Shopping Centre (2.2 miles south-west of Ash Vale) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic. If you manage units on an estate such as Stubs Industrial Estate, which lies west of Ash Vale, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Ash Vale: questions and answers
Is Ash Vale too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Stubs Industrial Estate, near Ash Vale?
Yes. Our area takes in Ash Vale and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Stubs Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Expect anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, with phasing where areas must stay open. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
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.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off, and we are fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
