Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Hunton
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we are called in for most is layers of sealant in a movement joint and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hunton first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Hunton, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Hunton can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What we’re called out for in Hunton
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Around Hunton, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
FAQs: Hunton
What site paperwork comes with a job in Hunton?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do we have to stop operations in Hunton while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
A joint near Hunton that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
