About our expansion joint sealing in Itchen Stoke
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. 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. Most enquiries involve weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Itchen Stoke, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Itchen Stoke, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to call us in Itchen Stoke
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Hospital campuses such as St John's Rooms And Chapel, 4.7 miles south-west of Itchen Stoke, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Itchen Stoke may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll 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.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Expansion joint sealing around Itchen Stoke: how the place shapes the job
Central London is about 56 miles from Itchen Stoke. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Rainfall across the South East, Itchen Stoke included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools such as Perins School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. On a site such as Abbas Business Centre (1.2 miles west of Itchen Stoke), the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Questions about Itchen Stoke
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St John's Rooms And Chapel, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Itchen Stoke off your patch?
No. Places such as Itchen Stoke are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Itchen Stoke, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
