Expansion joint sealing in Hyde

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
  • 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

If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Blockwork control joints
  • Car park decks and ramps
  • Brickwork movement joints
  • Precast concrete panel joints
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Podiums and floor movement joints

Expansion joint sealing in Hyde

Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. We work on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and movement joints with split or torn sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hyde, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Rural business units around smaller places such as Hyde often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?

Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Small buildings around Hyde suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

What you get with us

  • Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product
  • RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
  • One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Questions about Hyde

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Hampshire County Hospital, something you do?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Does your area include sites such as Winnall Farm Industrial Estate, near Hyde?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hyde, Winnall Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is Hyde in your area?

Yes. We take on work across Hyde, with one number for every area we cover.

Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?

Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Will you come and look before quoting?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.

Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?

The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. What matters most for a job in Hyde is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.

  1. The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
  3. The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
  4. Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
  5. After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
  6. Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Ask for a quote

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Expansion joint sealing around Hyde: what changes locally

The 3 miles around Hyde take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Hyde included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.

A campus such as University of Winchester, 0.9 miles to the south-west of Hyde, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. If you manage units on an estate such as Winnall Farm Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Hyde, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Hyde is about 1 mile north of Winchester, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Hyde for movement joints. Hyde is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list. Southampton is covered too, some 11 miles away.

Work on movement joints is covered throughout SO23, SO22 and SO20, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Elm Road, Swan Lane and City Road or nearby, we can quote for movement joints. Sites close to Hyde are covered too, including Abbotts Barton (1 mile north-east), Winchester (1 mile south), Weeke (1 mile west), Highcliffe (1 mile south-east) and Bar End (1 mile south). Nearby towns on our patch include Eastleigh (7 miles south), Andover (12 miles north-west), Totton (13 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (7 miles south-west), Hedge End (11 miles south) and Romsey (9 miles south-west).

Around Hyde

We work on buildings around Peter Symonds College, Leigh House Hospital and The King Alfred pub and the streets around them. Hyde has its own railway station: Winchester station. Well-known places in the area include Winchester Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Royal Observer Corps Museum (0.5 miles north). Not far away are Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.

How the job changes by surface

Concrete and precast panel joints

Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.

Cladding panel joints

We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Hyde

Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.

If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:

  • Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
  • Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
  • New sealant over old, now failing
  • Joints packed with grit and debris

At a retail site such as Moorside Retail Park, which lies east of Hyde, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
