About our expansion joint sealing in Turners Hill
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Searching for sealant specialists in Turners Hill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Turners Hill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Expansion joint sealing around Turners Hill: how the place shapes the job
Turners Hill lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Turners Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
In a school such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Rowfant Business Centre (0.9 miles north-west of Turners Hill) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
Turners Hill is about 4 miles south-west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Turners Hill is covered. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Turners Hill among them. Brighton is covered too, around 19 miles from Turners Hill.

Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.

Advice
Questions about Turners Hill
Is a hospital such as Queen Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Turners Hill too far out for you?
Not at all. Turners Hill is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
When to call us in Turners Hill
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Silverwood Industrial Estate (2.4 miles north of Turners Hill): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with photographs.
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. Sealing early protects the edges.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
