Need expansion joint sealing in Ashfield?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. If others near Ashfield need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

FAQs: Ashfield
Is a hospital such as Romsey Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Crescent Industrial Estate, close to Ashfield?
Yes. Our area takes in Ashfield and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Crescent Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What we’re called out for in Ashfield
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
A campus such as University of Southampton, 4.1 miles to the south-east of Ashfield, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Ashfield
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashfield
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. Older rural buildings around Ashfield move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Expansion joint sealing around Ashfield: what changes locally
With the shore within about 3 miles, Ashfield counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Less than 3 miles from Ashfield there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Nursling Industrial Estate (1.4 miles south of Ashfield): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. On industrial estates such as Crescent Industrial Estate, which lies south of Ashfield, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
