Expansion joint sealing in Loxhill
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. We work on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joints where the bead has lost adhesion and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead. Searching for sealant specialists in Loxhill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Loxhill, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected 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. For a building around Loxhill, 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 look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.

FAQs: Loxhill
Is Loxhill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Littlemead Industrial Estate, by Loxhill?
Yes, sites like Littlemead Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Loxhill. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
What exactly is a movement joint?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Timings are set out in the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Cost factors for movement joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Sealing early protects the edges.
