Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Halliford
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Upper Halliford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Upper Halliford, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

Common questions from Upper Halliford clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Walton Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Upper Halliford too far out for you?
No. Places such as Upper Halliford are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Upper Halliford, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- 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
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
When to call us in Upper Halliford
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
In a school such as The Bishop Wand Church of England School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- The named product and why it was chosen
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Upper Halliford. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
