Expansion joint sealing in Hungerford
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Most enquiries from Hungerford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Hungerford have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions about Hungerford
Would you work within a site like Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Fordingbridge Business Park, near Hungerford, within your area?
Yes, sites like Fordingbridge Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hungerford. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.

Joints that move: notes for Hungerford
Hungerford 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. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hungerford. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Sites like Fordingbridge Hospital, 1.8 miles north-west of Hungerford, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. For buildings at a park such as Fordingbridge Business Park, which lies north-west of Hungerford, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Schools like Hyde Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Older rural buildings around Hungerford move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.

- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Quoting for work in Hungerford
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
