How we handle expansion joint sealing in Chineham
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chineham tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around places the size of Chineham, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Chineham
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Chineham Court Business Park, close to Chineham?
Yes, sites like Chineham Court Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Chineham. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and 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.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
