Expansion joint sealing in Lordington
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Lordington
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and new sealant over old, now failing. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lordington tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Lordington have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When it isn’t the sealant
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)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints

- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Around Lordington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Lordington
Lordington lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Lordington 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Hospitals like Spire Hospital Portsmouth (to the west of Lordington) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Parks like Hambrook Business Park (to the south of Lordington) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. Schools like Bourne Community College often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- 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.

Advice
Common questions from Lordington clients
Can you work at a site such as Hambrook Business Park, by Lordington?
Yes, sites like Hambrook Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Lordington. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Lordington off your patch?
Not at all. Lordington is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
