Why act early in Locksgreen
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Locksgreen. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why clients in Locksgreen choose us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

- Colour agreed before work starts

About our expansion joint sealing in Locksgreen
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1. If you have hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and new sealant over old, now failing, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Locksgreen, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Locksgreen have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Porchfield Business Park, by Locksgreen?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Locksgreen, Porchfield Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in Locksgreen is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you work in Locksgreen?
Yes. Locksgreen is in our area. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Check joints after long freezing spells
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
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. Sealing early protects the edges.
Warehouse floors and decks around Locksgreen
Locksgreen is within about 2 miles of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Rainfall across the South East, Locksgreen included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
On a site such as Porchfield Business Park, 0.5 miles west of Locksgreen, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Sites like St Mary's Hospital, 3.1 miles to the east of Locksgreen, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Locksgreen is about 3 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO30, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Southampton have their own page, roughly 14 miles from Locksgreen.
If you need expansion joint sealing in PO30, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Just outside Locksgreen, we also work in Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Newtown (1 mile west), Great Thorness (1 mile north-east), Forest Side (2 miles east) and Noke Common (3 miles east). Further afield, our area takes in Newport (3 miles east), Ryde (9 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Locksgreen
We work on buildings around Sportsman's Rest pub and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (3 miles south-west) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.1 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Brighstone Down.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Locksgreen need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
When to call us in Locksgreen
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch and opens at the next temperature swing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
At places like Carisbrooke Retail Park (2.5 miles south-east of Locksgreen), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their public liability cover
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
