About our expansion joint sealing in Bailey Green
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and debris jammed in movement joints. Most enquiries from Bailey Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Bailey Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Petersfield Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Must our site in Bailey Green stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote.
How long will the joint resealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. Halls, stores and units around places like Bailey Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Bailey Green?
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
A healthcare site such as Petersfield Community Hospital (to the south-east of Bailey Green) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
