What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- 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 call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Marchwood
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. 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. If you are dealing with hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Marchwood? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Marchwood often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Marchwood
Marchwood sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Marchwood has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
For estates staff at a university like Southampton Solent University (2.5 miles north-east of Marchwood), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Centres like Mountbatten Retail Park (to the north-east of Marchwood) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.
Marchwood is about 3 miles south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Marchwood, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Marchwood among them.

We also cover Dibden (2 miles south-east), Dibden Purlieu (3 miles south-east), Hythe (3 miles south-east), Beaulieu (5 miles south) and Furzey Lodge (5 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Winchester (13 miles north-east), Gosport (14 miles south-east), Eastleigh (7 miles north-east), Fareham (11 miles east), Totton (3 miles north-west) and Chandler's Ford (7 miles north-east).

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Marchwood need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.

Common questions from Marchwood clients
Is a smaller place like Marchwood outside your area?
Not at all. Marchwood is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Marchwood affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Marchwood?
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Hospital campuses such as Priory Hospital, 0.8 miles south of Marchwood, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Marchwood can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Surface by surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
