Expansion joint sealing in Perham Down
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. 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, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you have spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can put it right, on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Perham Down, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Perham Down, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Your questions answered
Must our site in Perham Down stop work while the joints are done?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Ludgershall Business Park, near Perham Down, within your area?
Yes, sites like Ludgershall Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Perham Down. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Perham Down, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Around Perham Down, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Common problems we fix in Perham Down
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Business parks such as Ludgershall Business Park, 0.7 miles to the north of Perham Down, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
