Why it’s worth doing now in Hampers Green
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hampers Green, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hampers Green
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in Hampers Green. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with split or torn sealant and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Hampers 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.
Around smaller places such as Hampers Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
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.

Questions about Hampers Green
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Hampers Green outside your area?
No. Places such as Hampers Green are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first, because the fix differs.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

What else we do in Hampers Green
Expansion joint sealing in Hampers Green: the local picture
Hampers Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hampers Green. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
At places like Colhook Industrial Park. (2.2 miles north of Hampers Green), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For an occupier at a site such as Hampers Common Industrial Estate, under half a mile south of Hampers Green, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. Hospital campuses such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 5.5 miles to the west of Hampers Green, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
