Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Yaverland
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Yaverland start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Yaverland, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yaverland
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. Around Yaverland, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Yaverland, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Yaverland
Yaverland sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Rainfall across the South East, Yaverland included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
On a site such as Spithead Business Centre, which lies south-west of Yaverland, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Sites like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, 2.8 miles to the south-west of Yaverland, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. In a school such as The Bay Church of England School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Yaverland: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Yaverland change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Yaverland too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Yaverland is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class so there are no surprises.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
