Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Expansion joint sealing in Purbrook Heath
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. 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. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and sealant pulling off the joint face. Most enquiries from Purbrook Heath start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like Purbrook Heath, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Questions we are asked in Purbrook Heath
Is Purbrook Heath too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Purbrook Heath are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Purbrook Heath change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Traffic, movement and joints around Purbrook Heath
Purbrook Heath sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Rainfall across the South East, Purbrook Heath included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
A campus such as University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus (5 miles south of Purbrook Heath) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. Schools such as Purbrook Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Warehouse floors on estates like Oak Park Industrial Estate, 2 miles south-west of Purbrook Heath, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. Halls, stores and units around places like Purbrook Heath may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
