How we handle expansion joint sealing in Cranmore
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. If you’re dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and joints packed with grit and debris, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cranmore 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.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Cranmore have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Common questions from Cranmore clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lymington New Forest Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cranmore, such as Porchfield Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cranmore, Porchfield Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It typically takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Smaller jobs around Cranmore can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Why act early in Cranmore
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Cranmore tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common problems we fix in Cranmore
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Parks like Porchfield Business Park, 2.7 miles to the east of Cranmore, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Traffic, movement and joints around Cranmore
With the shore within about 1 mile, Cranmore counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 5.9 miles north-west of Cranmore, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. In a school such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
