Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Hinxhill Park
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and previous reseals laid over old sealant. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hinxhill Park 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.
Around smaller places such as Hinxhill Park, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Hinxhill Park need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in Hinxhill Park
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Hinxhill Park can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Expansion joint sealing in Hinxhill Park: the local picture
Central London is about 50 miles from Hinxhill Park. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hinxhill Park. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Another example is Mersham-le-Hatch Business Village (1.5 miles south-east of Hinxhill Park), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Retail sites such as Ashford Retail Park (to the south-west of Hinxhill Park) have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic. In a school such as Willesborough Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints

Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings around smaller places like Hinxhill Park, 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. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
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. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital (Ashford) somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Ashford Retail Park, close to Hinxhill Park?
Yes, sites like Ashford Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hinxhill Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. We diagnose which one it is before resealing, because the fix differs.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
