Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.

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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Baughurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
What affects the price in Baughurst
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Scion Business Park, near Baughurst?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Baughurst, Scion Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Baughurst outside your area?
Not at all. Baughurst is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first so you are not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Expansion joint sealing around Baughurst: how the place shapes the job
The 3 miles around Baughurst take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Baughurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Sites like Park Prewett Hospital, 5.4 miles south-east of Baughurst, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. On a site such as Scion Business Park, which lies north-west of Baughurst, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

What we are called out for in Baughurst
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Schools like The Hurst School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.
