About our expansion joint sealing in Minstead
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is sealant pulling off the joint face and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Minstead it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Minstead have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Minstead need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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 flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Where floor joints take the most wear near Minstead
Minstead sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Around Minstead, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind. 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 Minstead. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ashurst Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Must our site in Minstead stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.

What we’re called out for in Minstead
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Hospital campuses such as Ashurst Hospital, 3.3 miles to the east of Minstead, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
