Expansion joint sealing in Ludgershall, done properly
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we’re called in for most is layers of sealant in a movement joint and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ludgershall it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Ludgershall, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
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.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Older rural buildings around Ludgershall move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Ludgershall
Ludgershall is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. The 3 miles around Ludgershall take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
On industrial estates such as Rushbeds Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south of Ludgershall, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. At places like Lawn Farm Business Centre (2.6 miles north-east of Ludgershall), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Hospitals like Bicester Community Hospital, 5.8 miles north-west of Ludgershall, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

What else we do in Ludgershall
FAQs: Ludgershall
Would you work within a site like Bicester Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Rushbeds Industrial Estate, close to Ludgershall?
Yes, sites like Rushbeds Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ludgershall. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
