Expansion joint sealing in Lower Bourne: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Lower Bourne included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Less than 3 miles from Lower Bourne there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Centres like Farnham Retail Park (1.5 miles north of Lower Bourne) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic. Hospital campuses such as Farnham Community Hospital, 1.7 miles to the north of Lower Bourne, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For an occupier at a site such as Hookstile Trading Estate (0.9 miles north of Lower Bourne), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.

Expansion joint sealing in Lower Bourne
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is water getting into the wall through a failed joint and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lower Bourne tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Lower Bourne, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Lower Bourne, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
FAQs: Lower Bourne
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Farnham Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Hookstile Trading Estate, close to Lower Bourne?
Yes. Our area takes in Lower Bourne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hookstile Trading Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Bourne
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we’ll say so before quoting. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
