Floors, slabs and movement joints in Alton
Alton is about 45 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Alton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For an estate such as Alton Community Hospital, which lies south-west of Alton, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Warehouse floors on estates like Kerridge Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the north-east of Alton, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
Alton is about 10 miles south-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Alton for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Alton among them. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 21 miles from Alton.
We cover the GU34 postcode districts for movement joints. For a building on High Street, Station Road and Goswell Square or nearby, we can quote for movement joints. Main routes into Alton include the A339 and B3004, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. We also cover Chawton (1 mile south-west), Holybourne (2 miles north-east), Neatham (2 miles north-east), East Worldham (2 miles south-east) and Golden Pot (2 miles north) for movement joints. Nearby towns on our patch include Basingstoke (10 miles north-west), Farnborough (13 miles north-east), Fleet (10 miles north-east), Aldershot (11 miles north-east), Petersfield (10 miles south) and Yateley (14 miles north-east).

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Alton
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Alton 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.
Joints in town car parks and service yards take tyres, de-icing salt and standing water. Resealing before the edges break up is far less disruptive than repairing them later.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When to call us in Alton
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
At places like Farringdon Business Park, 2.8 miles south of Alton, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Why us?
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
See our cost guide or our accreditations.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Town-centre premises in Alton may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. On estates and business parks it’s usually simpler.
- 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints

FAQs: Alton
Do you cover business parks and estates near Alton, such as Kerridge Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Alton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kerridge Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Alton Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
