How we handle expansion joint sealing in Upper Common
For movement joints in Upper Common, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk the joints through. If you have brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Upper Common first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Jobs around smaller places like Upper Common are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Expansion joint sealing in Upper Common: the local picture
Upper Common is about 48 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Upper Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Hospital campuses such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 5.2 miles to the north of Upper Common, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. On a site such as Viables Business Park, 2.8 miles north of Upper Common, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Another example is Viables Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles to the north of Upper Common, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Upper Common is about 4 miles south of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Across the RG25 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.
We cover the RG25 postcode districts for movement joints. Just outside Upper Common, we also work in Ellisfield (1 mile north-east), Cliddesden (2 miles north), Nashes Green (3 miles east), Viables (3 miles north) and Eastrop (4 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Basingstoke (4 miles north), Winchester (14 miles south-west), Fleet (12 miles north-east), Aldershot (15 miles east), Alton (6 miles south-east) and Petersfield (15 miles south-east).
Around Upper Common
Around Upper Common, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Fox pub and the streets around them.

Other landmarks nearby include Barton Castle (4.6 miles south) and Gliding Heritage Centre (3.5 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Farleigh Hill.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Common
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Converted and older buildings near places like Upper Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- One contact handling all your sites
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- CHAS accredited contractor

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Upper Common need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
