Expansion joint sealing in Bashley, done properly
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you’re dealing with sealant pulling off the joint face and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps alike. Whoever orders the work in Bashley, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Bashley, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Converted and older buildings near places like Bashley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Bashley
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
In a school such as Ballard School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What else we do in Bashley
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common questions from Bashley clients
Does your area include sites such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, near Bashley?
Yes. Our area takes in Bashley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gore Road Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lymington New Forest Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bashley are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Bashley
Bashley sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For an occupier at a site such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, which lies south of Bashley, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. Sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 5 miles east of Bashley, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
