Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
Expansion joint sealing in Hartley Wintney
Width, depth and product all have to work together. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises, and the bead is tooled so it grips the two faces alone. The enquiries we see most involve torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hartley Wintney, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Hartley Wintney, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.

What we’re called out for in Hartley Wintney
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Schools such as Greenfields Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hartley Wintney
Hartley Wintney 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Hartley Wintney 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.
Office parks like Brocketts Business Park (to the north of Hartley Wintney) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. For an estate such as Fleet Community Hospital, 2.6 miles to the south-east of Hartley Wintney, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Hartley Wintney is about 4 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG27, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Work in places the size of Hartley Wintney is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close

Why deal with it now?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we’ll say so before quoting. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
