Expansion joint sealing in Appleshaw
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 will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we are called in for most is hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Appleshaw, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Appleshaw, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
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 will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Around Appleshaw, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Questions about Appleshaw
Is a smaller place like Appleshaw outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Appleshaw, such as Weyhill Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Appleshaw and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Weyhill Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading while the sealant stops grit and water getting in.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Appleshaw can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Appleshaw
Appleshaw 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, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Less than 3 miles from Appleshaw there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Across sites such as Andover Business Park, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Appleshaw, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Parks like Weyhill Business Park (to the south of Appleshaw) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. Schools like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
