Expansion joint sealing in Ampfield
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
About our expansion joint sealing in Ampfield
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. Most enquiries involve water dripping through deck or ramp joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Ampfield, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Ampfield are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Ampfield
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Why act early in Ampfield
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we’ll say so before quoting. Converted and older buildings near places like Ampfield tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- One contact handling all your sites

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Ampfield may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Warehouse floors and decks around Ampfield
The South East is one of the drier 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. Central London is about 67 miles from Ampfield. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
For buildings at a park such as Sleepy Hollow Business Park, less than half a mile west of Ampfield, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Across sites such as Test Valley Business Park (1.8 miles south of Ampfield), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

Questions about Ampfield
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Romsey Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Ampfield outside your area?
Not at all. Ampfield is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
When to call us in Ampfield
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
Look out for the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Hospital campuses such as Romsey Hospital, 2.5 miles south-west of Ampfield, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
