How the job changes by surface
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.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Redlands
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. For commercial sealant work in Redlands, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Redlands have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
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.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
What we are called out for in Redlands
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
In a school such as Crondall Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their public liability cover
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Expansion joint sealing around Redlands: how the place shapes the job
Redlands 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, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Redlands has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
For estates staff at a university like University for the Creative Arts, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Redlands, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. On a site such as Fleet Business Park, 1.7 miles to the north-east of Redlands, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
Redlands is about 3 miles south of Fleet, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Redlands for work on movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Reading page.

On site: what to expect

- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.

- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site

Common questions from Redlands clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Clare Park Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Redlands off your patch?
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.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
