How we handle expansion joint sealing in Foreland Fields
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are arrises breaking up along floor joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Foreland Fields 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 Foreland Fields have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Traffic, movement and joints around Foreland Fields
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Foreland Fields. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Foreland Fields included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
Sites like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, 5.6 miles south-west of Foreland Fields, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Foreland Fields
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
In a school such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. For buildings around smaller places like Foreland Fields, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

Common questions from Foreland Fields clients
Is a smaller place like Foreland Fields outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can being near the sea in Foreland Fields affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
