Expansion joint sealing in Flemings
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. The enquiries we see most involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and joints packed with grit and debris, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Flemings it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Flemings have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Flemings as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. For buildings around smaller places like Flemings, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Questions we’re asked in Flemings
Will you take on work at estates like Birnham Farm Business Centre, close to Flemings?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Flemings, Birnham Farm Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will our site in Flemings have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Typically the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Which product is best for expansion 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.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Flemings?
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, 0.7 miles to the south-east of Flemings, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
