How we handle expansion joint sealing in Curbridge
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. Most enquiries involve brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints.

Around Curbridge, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photos and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions we’re asked in Curbridge
Is Curbridge off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Fareham Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Small buildings around Curbridge suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Curbridge need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Different surfaces, different methods
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 in a colour confirmed for that product.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Common problems we fix in Curbridge
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Estates like Bottings Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Curbridge) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
