Advice
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Fareham Common
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, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. The enquiries we see most involve torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant, on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Fareham Common? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In a smaller place such as Fareham Common, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.

FAQs: Fareham Common
Is Fareham Common too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Fareham Common is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Knowle 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 you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What else we do in Fareham Common
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Fareham Common?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Large sites such as Knowle Hospital (2.3 miles north-west of Fareham Common) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. For buildings in places like Fareham Common, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- One number for every site we cover
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
