Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Monk Sherborne
Width, depth and product all have to work together. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. We work on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are layers of sealant in a movement joint and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Rural sites near Monk Sherborne may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Joints that move: notes for Monk Sherborne
Monk Sherborne is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Monk Sherborne has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Business parks such as Berry Court Business Park, 1.7 miles to the north-east of Monk Sherborne, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Schools like The Priory Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Monk Sherborne is about 3 miles north of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG26, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Questions we’re asked in Monk Sherborne
Is a hospital such as Parklands Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Monk Sherborne off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Broken edges are a third possibility.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Timings are set out in the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Why it’s worth doing now in Monk Sherborne
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Converted and older buildings near places like Monk Sherborne tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

When to call us in Monk Sherborne
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
Large sites such as Parklands Hospital (1.7 miles south-east of Monk Sherborne) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
