How we handle expansion joint sealing in Ellingham
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we are called in for most is debris jammed in movement joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ellingham 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 Ellingham, 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’ll take it from there.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Ellingham
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Hospitals like St Leonard's Hospital (to the south-west of Ellingham) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
What affects the price in Ellingham
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
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 fixed quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Why deal with it now?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Around Ellingham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Expansion joint sealing around Ellingham: points for this area
Ellingham 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. Ellingham 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, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Across sites such as Carvers Industrial Estate (1.8 miles south of Ellingham), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Office parks like Headlands Business Park (1 mile south-east of Ellingham) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Advice
What else we do in Ellingham
Your questions answered
Is Ellingham off your patch?
Not at all. Ellingham is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Leonard's Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
