Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in New Copse
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. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you have damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in New Copse, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Jobs around smaller places like New Copse are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For work around New Copse, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

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.

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure

Questions we are asked in New Copse
Is New Copse off your patch?
No. Places such as New Copse are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Alton Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Expansion joint sealing around New Copse: points for this area
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. The 3 miles around New Copse take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
At places like Barton Industrial Estate (1.8 miles west of New Copse), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For a school such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For buildings at a park such as Lower Soldridge Business Park (1.8 miles south of New Copse), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them.
