Warehouse floors and decks around Titchfield Common
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Titchfield Common. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Rainfall across the South East, Titchfield Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
Across sites such as Park Gate Business Centre, 1.5 miles to the north of Titchfield Common, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Schools like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Business parks such as Kite's Croft Business Park (to the east of Titchfield Common) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Titchfield Common can form part of a wider programme across Hampshire.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Why act early in Titchfield Common
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
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.
Why us?
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Titchfield Common outside your area?
Not at all. Titchfield Common is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Titchfield Common affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing and both need a flexible seal.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class so there are no surprises.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
