About our expansion joint sealing in Neatham
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Neatham. If you have layers of sealant in a movement joint and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can help, on precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Neatham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Neatham have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Neatham as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Neatham
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Alton Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Neatham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Normally the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Commercial clients in Neatham
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.

What else we do in Neatham
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Neatham, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Expansion joint sealing around Neatham: what changes locally
At about 43 miles from central London, Neatham is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. Rainfall across the South East, Neatham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
If you manage units on an estate such as Kerridge Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Neatham, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. For a school such as Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A healthcare site such as Alton Community Hospital (2.6 miles south-west of Neatham) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Neatham is about 2 miles north-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Neatham for work on movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Neatham is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for movement joints. Our Reading page has more on work in that area, about 20 miles away.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Neatham, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
