About our expansion joint sealing in Thursley
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. If you have brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Thursley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Thursley have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why act early in Thursley
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Around Thursley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What else we do in Thursley
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Your questions answered
Is Thursley too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Thursley are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Must our site in Thursley stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Thursley are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Thursley
Thursley is about 36 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.

In and around Thursley, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Hospital campuses such as Milford Hospital (to the east of Thursley) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
