About our expansion joint sealing in Whitsbury
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joints where the bead has lost adhesion and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Whitsbury it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Whitsbury have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Whitsbury
Is Whitsbury off your patch?
Not at all. Whitsbury is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Salisbury District Hospital?
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.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
On site: what to expect
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, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Whitsbury, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, 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.
- 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Traffic, movement and joints around Whitsbury
Whitsbury sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Whitsbury. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Another example is Arch Farm Industrial Estate (2.7 miles south-east of Whitsbury), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For an estate such as Salisbury District Hospital, which lies north of Whitsbury, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

When to call us in Whitsbury
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Schools such as Western Downland Church of England Aided Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
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, with backing rod setting the depth.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
