About our expansion joint sealing in Three Leg Cross
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; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Three Leg Cross? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Three Leg Cross have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What affects the price in Three Leg Cross
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Three Leg Cross?
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Sites like Ticehurst House Hospital (to the south-west of Three Leg Cross) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, usually low-modulus.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.

Three Leg Cross is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

In a school such as Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Questions about Three Leg Cross
Do you cover business parks and estates near Three Leg Cross, such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Three Leg Cross and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Three Leg Cross too far out for you?
No. Places such as Three Leg Cross are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, with phasing where areas must stay open. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
