FAQs: Laverstoke
Must our site in Laverstoke stop work while the joints are done?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Laverstoke off your patch?
No. Places such as Laverstoke are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Laverstoke
We’ve 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’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you’re dealing with new sealant over old, now failing and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. Most enquiries from Laverstoke start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Jobs around smaller places like Laverstoke are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
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.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Expansion joint sealing in Laverstoke: the local picture
Laverstoke is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At about 55 miles from central London, Laverstoke is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
For a school such as Testbourne Community School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. If others near Laverstoke need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

Advice
What we’re called out for in Laverstoke
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
On industrial estates such as Ardglen Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the west of Laverstoke, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Building owners, agents and FMs in Laverstoke
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
