Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Owslebury need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

About our expansion joint sealing in Owslebury
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. Site teams most often ask us about rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Owslebury first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Owslebury, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, typically low-modulus, with backing rod setting the depth.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Questions we’re asked in Owslebury
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St John's Rooms And Chapel, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Hazeley Enterprise Park, by Owslebury?
Yes. We cover Owslebury and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hazeley Enterprise Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Owslebury
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
For estates staff at a university like University of Winchester (4.5 miles north-west of Owslebury), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Owslebury
Less than 3 miles from Owslebury there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For a school such as Owslebury Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Business parks such as Hazeley Enterprise Park (2.1 miles north-west of Owslebury) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

What’s near Owslebury
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Ship Inn, among other places. Owslebury’s nearest station is Shawford station, roughly 2.8 miles west. A little further out are Wolvesey Castle (3.9 miles north-west) and The Gurkha Museum (3.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Twyford Down and Hockley Meadows.
What happens if it’s left?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Owslebury tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
