Expansion joint sealing for businesses in Canada
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
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. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Expansion joint sealing in Canada
For movement joints in Canada, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to talk the joints through. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joints where the bead has lost adhesion and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Canada tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Canada, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Canada can form part of a wider programme across Hampshire.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, 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. If others near Canada need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Giles Lane Industrial Estate, close to Canada?
Yes. Our area takes in Canada and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Giles Lane Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Canada too far out for you?
Not at all. Canada is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

Joints that move: notes for Canada
Canada is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Canada. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Estates like Giles Lane Industrial Estate (1.5 miles north-west of Canada) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Gardeners Business Park (1.6 miles north of Canada): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Schools such as Wellow School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Canada is about 5 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Canada is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Canada among them. Southampton is covered too, around 9 miles from Canada.
If you need expansion joint sealing in SO51, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your building is just outside Canada, we cover West Wellow (1 mile north), Blackhill (1 mile east), East Wellow (1 mile east), Newbridge (2 miles south) and Plaitford Green (2 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Winchester (14 miles north-east), Eastleigh (11 miles east), Totton (5 miles south-east), Chandler's Ford (9 miles east), Hedge End (13 miles east) and Lymington (14 miles south).
Local landmarks in Canada
We work on buildings around Rockingham Arms. The closest station to Canada is Romsey station, roughly 4.6 miles north-east. A little further out are Tatchbury Mount Hospital (3.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Copythorne Common.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
