Expansion joint sealing in Cocking Causeway
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you’re dealing with leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cocking Causeway first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Cocking Causeway have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions about Cocking Causeway
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Cocking Causeway too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

What else we do in Cocking Causeway
When to call us in Cocking Causeway
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Midhurst Business Centre (0.9 miles north-west of Cocking Causeway): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Joints that move: notes for Cocking Causeway
Cocking Causeway lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Cocking Causeway included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools such as Midhurst CofE Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Hospital campuses such as Midhurst Community Hospital (1.6 miles north of Cocking Causeway) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.

- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
