Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Expansion joint sealing in Lee-on-the-Solent, done properly
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in Lee-on-the-Solent. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Lee-on-the-Solent, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Lee-on-the-Solent, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photos and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Common problems we fix in Lee-on-the-Solent
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
For estates staff at a university like University of Portsmouth - North Zone, which lies east of Lee-on-the-Solent, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Work in places the size of Lee-on-the-Solent is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close

Where floor joints take the most wear near Lee-on-the-Solent
With the shore within about 1 mile, Lee-on-the-Solent counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Lee-on-the-Solent. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Retail parks like Brockhurst Gate Retail Park (to the north-east of Lee-on-the-Solent) have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic. Hospital campuses such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (2.1 miles east of Lee-on-the-Solent) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Lee-on-the-Solent is about 2 miles west of Gosport, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Lee-on-the-Solent for movement joints. Lee-on-the-Solent is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list.

Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Gosport War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Lee-on-the-Solent outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Sound edges are essential. 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.
