How we handle expansion joint sealing in Sheerness
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Sheerness. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sheerness first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Work in a smaller place like Sheerness is normally one building at a time. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a site in Sheerness, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Sheerness?
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
At a retail site such as Neats Court Retail Park (1.9 miles south of Sheerness), joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day.
Before you book anyone

- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Warehouse floors and decks around Sheerness
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Sheerness. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Central London is about 37 miles from Sheerness. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Rose Street Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Across sites such as Walbrook Business Park, 2 miles south of Sheerness, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, usually low-modulus laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Sheppey Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Sheerness too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, with phasing where areas must stay open. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint. Indoor joints can normally carry on regardless.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sheerness
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. In a smaller place such as Sheerness, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
