How we handle expansion joint sealing in Beaulieu
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are arrises breaking up along floor joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Beaulieu, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Beaulieu, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Beaulieu, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Around Beaulieu, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Your questions answered
Is Hardley Industrial Estate, near Beaulieu, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Beaulieu, Hardley Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
What we’re called out for in Beaulieu
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Estates like Hardley Industrial Estate (2.8 miles north-east of Beaulieu) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

For a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an estate such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, which lies south-west of Beaulieu, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
