Expansion joint sealing in Blendworth, done properly
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. If you are dealing with chipped joint edges on forklift routes and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, we can help, on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Blendworth? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Blendworth have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Blendworth can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything 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.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Blendworth
Why act early in Blendworth
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Older rural buildings around Blendworth 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.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts
Cost factors for movement joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
FAQs: Blendworth
Is a smaller place like Blendworth outside your area?
No. Places such as Blendworth are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Havant War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What exactly is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Blendworth
Central London is about 56 miles from Blendworth. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
If you manage units on an estate such as Westfield Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles south-west of Blendworth, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Enterprise Industrial Estate (0.6 miles west of Blendworth): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Schools such as Horndean Church of England Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Blendworth is covered. Blendworth is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for movement joints. We also cover Portsmouth, around 8 miles from Blendworth.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
