When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Amport
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Amport. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are debris jammed in movement joints and chipped joint edges on forklift routes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Amport from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Amport have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What affects the price in Amport
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
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.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Traffic, movement and joints around Amport
Amport has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Amport is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Another example is Plot 5 Andover Business Park, which lies north-east of Amport, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. In a school such as Amport Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Amport is about 4 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. We cover Amport, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Amport is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for movement joints. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

What else we do in Amport
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Amport, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. For buildings around smaller places like Amport, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why appoint us

Amport: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Amport outside your area?
Not at all. Amport is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Weyhill Business Park, near Amport?
Yes, sites like Weyhill Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Amport. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we are fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Amport
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. 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.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
A healthcare site such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles east of Amport) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
