Expansion joint sealing in Eling, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. 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. The enquiries we see most involve chipped joint edges on forklift routes and sealant pulling off the joint face, across precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints. Most enquiries from Eling start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Small units near places like Eling are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Expansion joint sealing around Eling: points for this area
Eling lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Eling sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Sites like Western Community Hospital (1.9 miles north-east of Eling) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. At places like Manor Park Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north-east of Eling), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Campuses like Southampton Solent University (to the east of Eling) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. Commercial clients in Eling can call on us for movement joints, as part of our coverage of Hampshire. Eling is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for movement joints.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a site in Eling, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Small buildings around Eling suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions from Eling clients
Our building in Eling is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Eling too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Eling can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
