How we handle expansion joint sealing in Farthing Green
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are 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 previous reseals laid over old sealant and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps. Most enquiries from Farthing Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Farthing Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Farthing Green

- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes

Questions about Farthing Green
Does a site in Farthing Green have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Does your area include sites such as Barradale Farm Industrial Estate, near Farthing Green?

Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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.
Warehouse floors and decks around Farthing Green
Farthing Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Farthing Green lies roughly 37 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Around Farthing Green, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Why deal with it now?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we’ll tell you honestly. Older rural buildings around Farthing Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

That way the right products come on the day.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
