Expansion joint sealing in Penton Grafton
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and what we are called in for most is arrises breaking up along floor joints and movement joints with split or torn sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Penton Grafton it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Penton Grafton, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. 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. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

- Whether the work must be split into stages

- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older

Questions about Penton Grafton
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Andover War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Penton Grafton off your patch?
Not at all. Penton Grafton is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Penton Grafton are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond, so the new seal holds.
