How we handle expansion joint sealing in Inhurst
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and 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. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we’re called in for most is weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Inhurst 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.
Jobs around smaller places like Inhurst are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Common problems we fix in Inhurst
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Large sites such as Park Prewett Hospital (to the south-east of Inhurst) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Why act early in Inhurst
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Converted and older buildings near places like Inhurst tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
