From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Newfound can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Expansion joint sealing in Newfound, done properly
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. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. If you are dealing with new sealant over old, now failing and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Newfound, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Newfound, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Expansion joint sealing in Newfound: the local picture
Newfound is about 49 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Newfound. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
For an occupier at a site such as West Ham Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles east of Newfound, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. Schools like Oakley Infant School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Around Newfound

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and send a picture.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Questions we’re asked in Newfound
Is a hospital such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is West Ham Industrial Estate, near Newfound, within your area?
Yes, sites like West Ham Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Newfound. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When to call us in Newfound
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
For an estate such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, which lies north-east of Newfound, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their public liability cover
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
