How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hinton Ampner
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you are dealing with chipped joint edges on forklift routes and new sealant over old, now failing, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hinton Ampner? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site near Hinton Ampner, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hinton Ampner are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Questions about Hinton Ampner
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Hinton Ampner?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Hinton Ampner off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
