Floors, slabs and movement joints in Ashurst Bridge
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Ashurst Bridge. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Ashurst Bridge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For buildings at a park such as Rushington Business Park (0.7 miles east of Ashurst Bridge), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Brokenford Business Park (1.1 miles north-east of Ashurst Bridge): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Ashurst Bridge
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. If you have new sealant over old, now failing and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Ashurst Bridge, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Ashurst Bridge, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Ashurst Bridge: questions and answers
Is Ashurst Bridge too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Ashurst Bridge 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.
Does the sea air around Ashurst Bridge change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available, and we will plan the phasing around it.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ashurst Bridge
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Ashurst Bridge. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Smaller jobs around Ashurst Bridge can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Quoting for work in Ashurst Bridge
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
When to call us in Ashurst Bridge
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Centres like Totton Shopping Centre, 1.3 miles north-east of Ashurst Bridge, have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
