About our expansion joint sealing in Durley Street
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. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. If you have brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Durley Street 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.
For a site near Durley Street, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
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.

Expansion joint sealing around Durley Street: points for this area
Durley Street has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Durley Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Warehouse floors on estates like Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate (1.6 miles west of Durley Street) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Large sites such as Moorgreen Hospital (to the south-west of Durley Street) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Durley Street is about 4 miles north-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Durley Street sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Durley Street is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for movement joints. Southampton is covered too, some 7 miles away.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Jobs in and around smaller places like Durley Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photos, 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.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Durley Street off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate, close to Durley Street?
Yes, sites like Deer Park Farm Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Durley Street. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
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 confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

When to call us in Durley Street
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Across sites such as Swanmore Business Park (2.6 miles south-east of Durley Street), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
