About our expansion joint sealing in Hale
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. If you’re dealing with leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and joints packed with grit and debris, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hale, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Hale, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions about Hale
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Salisbury District 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.
Is Hale too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Hale are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Weather matters for any external joint. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Hale
Hale sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
Hospitals like Salisbury District Hospital (5.8 miles north-west of Hale) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. In a school such as Hale Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Office parks like Downton Business Centre (2.2 miles north-west of Hale) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Why deal with it now?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we will say so before quoting. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hale, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Hale may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photographs, 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
