About our expansion joint sealing in East Hanney
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. 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 podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we are asked to look at most are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and new sealant over old, now failing. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in East Hanney is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as East Hanney, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. For work around East Hanney, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like East Hanney, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
Building owners, agents and FMs in East Hanney
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Common questions from East Hanney clients
Is East Hanney too far out for you?
No. Places such as East Hanney are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near East Hanney, such as Grovelands Shopping Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in East Hanney and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Grovelands Shopping Centre included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
Expansion joint sealing around East Hanney: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier 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. Less than 3 miles from East Hanney there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Retail sites such as Grovelands Shopping Centre, 2.4 miles to the south-west of East Hanney, have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic. In a school such as St James Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Elms Farm Business Park (2.7 miles south-west of East Hanney): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
