Expansion joint sealing in Mead End
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. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can help, on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mead End first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Jobs around smaller places like Mead End are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What else we do in Mead End
Questions about Mead End
Is a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Mead End, such as Gore Road Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Gore Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Mead End. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
Joints that move: notes for Mead End
Mead End 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 winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
If you manage units on an estate such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the south-west of Mead End, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Schools such as Tiptoe Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Hospitals like Lymington New Forest Hospital (3.8 miles east of Mead End) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Why deal with it now?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. For buildings around smaller places like Mead End, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- CHAS accredited
See our cost guide and our accreditations.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Mead End need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
