Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like West Meon are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
About our expansion joint sealing in West Meon
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. Site teams most often ask us about water getting into the wall through a failed joint and sealant pulling off the joint face, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Meon first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In and around smaller places like West Meon, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in West Meon?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Must our site in West Meon stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first, because the fix differs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

What else we do in West Meon
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. West Meon can form part of a wider programme across Hampshire.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

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.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
