Salters Heath: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Parklands Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Salters Heath off your patch?
No. Places such as Salters Heath are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.

What else we do in Salters Heath
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Salters Heath may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Salters Heath can form part of a wider programme across Hampshire.
What we’re called out for in Salters Heath
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Office parks like Berry Court Business Park, 0.9 miles to the north of Salters Heath, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Proof of insurance
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
