Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Ower
Ower sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. The 3 miles around Ower take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Sites like Tatchbury Mount Hospital (to the south of Ower) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. At places like Shelley Farm Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles north of Ower, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. On industrial estates such as Mortimer Trading Estate, less than half a mile west of Ower, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, typically low-modulus.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Our process
In a busy building, 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 the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Ower can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Ower can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Why act early in Ower
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. For buildings around smaller places like Ower, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Ower: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Mortimer Trading Estate, near Ower, within your area?
Yes, sites like Mortimer Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ower. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we’ll flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
