Expansion joint sealing in Compton
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. Most enquiries involve expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, across podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Compton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Compton have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

What affects the price in Compton
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
Questions we are asked in Compton
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Compton too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What exactly is a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading while the sealant stops grit and water getting in.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Compton
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Compton
The 3 miles around Compton take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. At about 35 miles from central London, Compton is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Business parks such as The Sands Business Centre, 0.8 miles to the east of Compton, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. For an estate such as Farnham Community Hospital, 1.1 miles to the north-west of Compton, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. At a retail site such as Farnham Retail Park, 1 mile to the north-west of Compton, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Converted and older buildings near places like Compton tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

What else we do in Compton
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Compton may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Surface by surface
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.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
