What we are called out for in Ashley
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Schools like Ashley Junior School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

Questions we’re asked in Ashley
Will you take on work at estates like Gore Road Industrial Estate, close to Ashley?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ashley, Gore Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Typically the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Ashley
Ashley sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. 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. Ashley sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Estates like Gore Road Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles south-west of Ashley, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Large sites such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, 4.3 miles to the east of Ashley, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
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. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a site in Ashley, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

What else we do in Ashley
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
