Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Faberstown outside your area?
Not at all. Faberstown is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Ludgershall Business Park, near Faberstown?
Yes, sites like Ludgershall Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Faberstown. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Faberstown
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and new sealant over old, now failing, across cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Faberstown 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 Faberstown have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.
Expansion joint sealing in Faberstown: the local picture
Faberstown is about 67 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Castledown Business Park (1.9 miles north-west of Faberstown): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Parks like Ludgershall Business Park (to the west of Faberstown) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. For an estate such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, which lies south-east of Faberstown, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Faberstown is about 5 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Faberstown use us for work on movement joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. Southampton is covered too, around 24 miles from Faberstown.
We cover the SP11 postcode districts. For a building on Andover Road and Shoddesden Lane or nearby, we can quote for movement joints. Close to Faberstown, our area also takes in Redenham (1 mile east), Appleshaw (1 mile east), Fyfield (2 miles south), Chute Forest (2 miles north-east) and Clanville (2 miles east). A short drive away, we cover Andover (5 miles south-east), Tidworth (3 miles west), Whitchurch (11 miles east), East Anton (6 miles east), Overton (14 miles east) and Picket Piece (7 miles east).
What’s near Faberstown
Faberstown’s nearest station is Andover station, about 4.7 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Andover War Memorial Hospital (4.5 miles south-east) and Ludgershall Castle (1.8 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Quarley Hill and Anton Lakes.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Faberstown, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
