Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Leonard's Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Platinum Jubilee Business Park, near Poulner, within your area?
Yes. We cover Poulner and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. We agree a revised date with you.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we will plan around them.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Poulner
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. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in Poulner. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Poulner? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Work in a smaller place like Poulner is usually one building at a time, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Traffic, movement and joints around Poulner
The 3 miles around Poulner take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools like Poulner Infant School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Another example is Hightown Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Poulner, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Cost factors for movement joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
What we are called out for in Poulner
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Business parks such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park, 0.8 miles to the south of Poulner, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a site in Poulner, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Quotes
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Why deal with it now?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
