Leave it or put it right?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. Converted and older buildings near places like Upton Grey tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Upton Grey
Rainfall across the South East, Upton Grey included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Upton Grey lies roughly 44 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
Hospital campuses such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 5.8 miles north-west of Upton Grey, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Upton Grey
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
On industrial estates such as Hatch Industrial Park, 2.7 miles north-west of Upton Grey, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Upton Grey, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Hatch Industrial Park, close to Upton Grey?
Yes. Our area takes in Upton Grey and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hatch Industrial Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Upton Grey off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It normally 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. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Weather matters for any external joint. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
