How we handle expansion joint sealing in Sherfield on Loddon
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. Site teams most often ask us about chipped joint edges on forklift routes and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps. Whoever orders the work in Sherfield on Loddon, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Sherfield on Loddon, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Sherfield on Loddon?
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
For an estate such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 4.4 miles to the south-west of Sherfield on Loddon, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
What happens if it’s left?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. Converted and older buildings near places like Sherfield on Loddon tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
Common questions from Sherfield on Loddon clients
Is Sherfield on Loddon off your patch?
No. Places such as Sherfield on Loddon are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
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 if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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.
