Common questions from Hipley clients
Is Parklands Business Park, near Hipley, within your area?
Yes. We cover Hipley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parklands Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Queen Alexandra Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Expansion joint sealing in Hipley
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new sealant over old, now failing and movement joints with split or torn sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Hipley? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Hipley, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Hipley, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Traffic, movement and joints around Hipley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Hipley is about 61 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
Hospitals like Queen Alexandra Hospital (4 miles south-east of Hipley) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Business parks such as Parklands Business Park (2.1 miles east of Hipley) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. In a school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Hipley is about 4 miles west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Hipley is covered. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. Our Portsmouth page has more on work in that area.
Business premises anywhere in PO7 are within our area. Just outside Hipley, we also work in Worlds End (1 mile east), Hoe Gate (1 mile north), Newtown (1 mile north-west), Southend (1 mile north) and Soberton Heath (2 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Winchester (14 miles north-west), Gosport (7 miles south), Havant (6 miles south-east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-west), Fareham (5 miles south-west) and Horndean (5 miles east).
Near you in Hipley

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hipley
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Why act early in Hipley
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Older rural buildings around Hipley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Hipley
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Public liability insurance in place
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Colour options checked against the specified product

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
