Expansion joint sealing for Hunsdon sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Older rural buildings around Hunsdon move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Clear, fixed quotes

About our expansion joint sealing in Hunsdon
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve debris jammed in movement joints and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Hunsdon 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.
Jobs around smaller places like Hunsdon are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Hunsdon as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Hunsdon
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Hunsdon
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
For an occupier at a site such as Home Farm Industrial Park, 1.7 miles south-west of Hunsdon, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Hunsdon
Hunsdon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

Large sites such as Princess Alexandra Hospital, 2.8 miles south-east of Hunsdon, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Schools like Hunsdon Junior Mixed and Infant School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Hunsdon can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
