On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Oakhanger are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Oakhanger, done properly
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Oakhanger is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Oakhanger, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Questions we’re asked in Oakhanger
Is Oakhanger too far out for you?
Not at all. Oakhanger is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Southlands Industrial Park, by Oakhanger?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Oakhanger, Southlands Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around Oakhanger, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Oakhanger

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Expansion joint sealing around Oakhanger: how the place shapes the job
The 3 miles around Oakhanger take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Oakhanger included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Schools like Mill Chase Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Hospital campuses such as Chase Hospital (to the east of Oakhanger) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Warehouse floors on estates like Southlands Industrial Park, 0.7 miles south of Oakhanger, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
