Why it’s worth doing now in Branstone
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. For buildings around smaller places like Branstone, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

About our expansion joint sealing in Branstone
For movement joints in Branstone, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed before issuing a fixed quote. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to talk the joints through. If you’re dealing with rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Branstone, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Branstone, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

Warehouse floors and decks around Branstone
Branstone sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Branstone. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Business parks such as Branstone Business Park (to the south of Branstone) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Schools such as Newchurch Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Another example is Langbridge Business Centre, which lies north of Branstone, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Branstone are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Questions about Branstone
Can being near the sea in Branstone affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Branstone Business Park, near Branstone, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Branstone and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Branstone Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. 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.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
