Expansion joint sealing in Ashburnham
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you’re dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ashburnham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Ashburnham have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:

Ashburnham: questions and answers
Will our site in Ashburnham have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Ashburnham off your patch?
Not at all. Ashburnham is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

What we’re called out for in Ashburnham
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
In and around Ashburnham, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Proof of insurance
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
