Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Hampden Park
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. Most enquiries involve previous reseals laid over old sealant and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hampden Park is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as Hampden Park, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings in places like Hampden Park, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. 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 a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
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.
Hampden Park: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Our building in Hampden Park is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
