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. Rural sites near North Charford may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

North Charford: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Salisbury District Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near North Charford, such as Downton Business Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around North Charford, Downton Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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 will plan the phasing around it.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Warehouse floors and decks around North Charford
North Charford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.

Business parks such as Downton Business Centre, 2.3 miles to the north-west of North Charford, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

What we are called out for in North Charford
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Schools like Hale Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
