Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Expansion joint sealing in Burridge
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and previous reseals laid over old sealant.

Around smaller places such as Burridge, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What we’re called out for in Burridge
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
At places like Solent Business Park, 1.1 miles south-east of Burridge, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Burridge, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Common questions from Burridge clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Park Gate Business Centre, near Burridge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burridge, Park Gate Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

What else we do in Burridge
Why it’s worth doing now in Burridge
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Older rural buildings around Burridge 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 price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.
