When to call us in Funtley
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way unless width and product are reviewed.
Look out for the following:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Centres like Broadcut Retail Park, 1.6 miles south-east of Funtley, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Funtley
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1. If you are dealing with sealant peeling off one face of the joint and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Funtley? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For a site near Funtley, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Funtley as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example 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.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
Cost factors for movement joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.

Expansion joint sealing around Funtley: how the place shapes the job
Funtley sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. 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. Funtley has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Horseshoe Paddocks Business Centre (0.9 miles west of Funtley): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For buildings at a park such as Knowle Village Business Park (0.8 miles north of Funtley), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Funtley for movement joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page, about 7 miles away.

Questions we’re asked in Funtley
Do you cover business parks and estates near Funtley, such as Knowle Village Business Park?
Yes, sites like Knowle Village Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Funtley. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Funtley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. If others near Funtley need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
