Expansion joint sealing for businesses in North Fareham
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
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 reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like North Fareham are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space

How we handle expansion joint sealing in North Fareham
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and joints packed with grit and debris, across car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in North Fareham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around North Fareham have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again.

Questions we are asked in North Fareham
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Knowle Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Fareham Industrial Park, near North Fareham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around North Fareham, Fareham Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off, and we are fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Commercial clients in North Fareham
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What we’re called out for in North Fareham
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- New sealant over old, now failing
Schools like Harrison Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Expansion joint sealing in North Fareham: the local picture
North Fareham sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. North Fareham 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.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Spurlings Industrial Estate (0.5 miles south-east of North Fareham): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For an occupier at a site such as Fareham Industrial Park, 0.5 miles to the south of North Fareham, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.
