About our expansion joint sealing in Totland
If you need expansion joint sealing in Totland, start with photos and joint lengths. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Site teams most often ask us about leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Totland, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Totland, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Totland as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Totland
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

What else we do in Totland
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why act early in Totland
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why clients in Totland choose us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints

Where floor joints take the most wear near Totland
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Totland. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For floors and slabs around Totland, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. For a school such as St Saviour's Catholic Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Totland need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- 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.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
FAQs: Totland
Can being near the sea in Totland affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Does a site in Totland have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can normally carry on regardless.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably.
