Expansion joint sealing in Nursling
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals laid over old sealant and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Nursling, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Work in a smaller place like Nursling is typically one building at a time, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Nursling
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Nursling. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Less than 3 miles from Nursling there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
For estates staff at a university like University of Southampton (3.1 miles east of Nursling), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Hospital campuses such as Princess Anne Hospital, 1.5 miles east of Nursling, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. If you manage units on an estate such as Nursling Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles west of Nursling, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a site in Nursling, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
What else we do in Nursling
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
