How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For work around Godshill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.
Your questions answered
Is Godshill too far out for you?
No. Places such as Godshill are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Wroxall Industrial Estate, near Godshill?
Yes, sites like Wroxall Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Godshill. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first so you are not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Expansion joint sealing around Godshill: points for this area
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Godshill. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Godshill is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Sites like Whitecroft Hospital (to the north-west of Godshill) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. For a school such as Godshill Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Common problems we fix in Godshill
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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
On industrial estates such as Wroxall Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Godshill, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
