Common problems we fix in Langley
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong 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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Office parks like Glenmore Business Park (to the north of Langley) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. For work around Langley, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
What affects the price in Langley
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Joints that move: notes for Langley
With the shore within about 2 miles, Langley counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Less than 3 miles from Langley there are two named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
In a school such as Blackfield Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Another example is Hardley Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles north-west of Langley, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Langley is about 4 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Langley for work on movement joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. We also cover Southampton, some 8 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Langley
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings around smaller places like Langley, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions we are asked in Langley
Does your area include sites such as Glenmore Business Park, near Langley?
Yes. We cover Langley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Glenmore Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Coldeast?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
