Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Expansion joint sealing in Boorley Green
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and new sealant over old, now failing. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Boorley Green first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Boorley Green, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photographs and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Boorley Green can form part of a wider programme.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Questions we’re asked in Boorley Green
Would you work within a site like Moorgreen Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Solent Industrial Estate, near Boorley Green, within your area?
Yes. We cover Boorley Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Solent Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we’ll flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Boorley Green, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Boorley Green?
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Hospitals like Moorgreen Hospital, 2 miles to the west of Boorley Green, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
