How we handle expansion joint sealing in Old Netley
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and new sealant over old, now failing. Whoever orders the work in Old Netley, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Old Netley, measurements and photos 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Questions we’re asked in Old Netley
Does a coastal location like Old Netley affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Old Netley off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually 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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What else we do in Old Netley
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Why act early in Old Netley
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Old Netley. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How a job runs
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 a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Old Netley need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- 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
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
