Why deal with it now?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Small buildings around Cranleigh suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Expansion joint sealing in Cranleigh, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. For commercial sealant work in Cranleigh, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In a smaller place such as Cranleigh, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common problems we fix in Cranleigh
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Warehouse floors on estates like Littlemead Industrial Estate, 1 mile west of Cranleigh, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a job in Cranleigh, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Warehouse floors and decks around Cranleigh
Rainfall across the South East, Cranleigh included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. At about 30 miles from central London, Cranleigh is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
Another example is Manfield Park Industrial Estate (1.1 miles north-west of Cranleigh), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Schools such as St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

What the job involves on each surface

We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Questions we are asked in Cranleigh
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cranleigh, such as Littlemead Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Cranleigh and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Littlemead Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do we have to stop operations in Cranleigh while the joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
