About our expansion joint sealing in Kimbridge
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you have expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can put it right, on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kimbridge from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In and around smaller places like Kimbridge, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Kimbridge as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- 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
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: 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. For a building around Kimbridge, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Joints that move: notes for Kimbridge
Kimbridge has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Kimbridge 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.
Hospitals like Romsey Community Hospital, 3.3 miles to the south-east of Kimbridge, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Warehouse floors on estates like Yokesford Hill Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Kimbridge) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. For a school such as Awbridge Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Kimbridge is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire.

What affects the price in Kimbridge
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
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 photographs and a few notes.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Sealing early protects the edges.
Leave it or put it right?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. Older rural buildings around Kimbridge 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 how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
FAQs: Kimbridge
Is Kimbridge off your patch?
No. Places such as Kimbridge are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Romsey Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
