About our expansion joint sealing in Durrington
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. The enquiries we see most involve chipped joint edges on forklift routes and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Durrington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Work in a smaller place like Durrington is normally one building at a time. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Durrington
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Large sites such as Goring Hall Hospital, 1.9 miles south-west of Durrington, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations

What else we do in Durrington
Commercial clients in Durrington
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints

Common questions from Durrington clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Durrington, such as Goring Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Durrington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Goring Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Goring Hall Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Durrington
Durrington is within about 3 miles of the coast. 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 3 miles around Durrington take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Gosling Croft Business Centre (1.7 miles west of Durrington): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For a school such as Durrington Junior School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Durrington need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- 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.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
