Why deal with it now?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. In a smaller place such as Paulsgrove, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Expansion joint sealing in Paulsgrove, done properly
We cover the full range of movement joints: 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. If you are dealing with joints packed with grit and debris and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Paulsgrove start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around places the size of Paulsgrove, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. What matters most for a job in Paulsgrove is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- 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.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Joints that move: notes for Paulsgrove
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Paulsgrove. 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. Paulsgrove sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Large sites such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (1 mile east of Paulsgrove) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. University campuses such as University of Portsmouth - North Zone, 3.5 miles south of Paulsgrove, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

Common questions from Paulsgrove clients
Is Paulsgrove too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Alexandra 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.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Paulsgrove
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Retail centres such as Victory Retail Park (2.9 miles south of Paulsgrove) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
