Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Lordswood
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: 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, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in Lordswood. If you have leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Lordswood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Small units near places like Lordswood are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. What matters most for a job in Lordswood is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Warehouse floors and decks around Lordswood
Lordswood is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Less than 3 miles from Lordswood there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Large sites such as Princess Anne Hospital, 0.5 miles to the south of Lordswood, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. In a school such as Oakwood Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Lordswood is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. Lordswood sits inside our coverage and the rest of Southampton, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Lordswood is one of 30 places we cover in Southampton.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply

Questions we are asked in Lordswood
Does a coastal location like Lordswood affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Lordswood too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we are fully insured for public liability. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we are called out for in Lordswood
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
For an occupier at a site such as Northbrook Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south of Lordswood), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.
