What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it before the bead goes in.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.
Commercial clients in Balmerlawn
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear.

You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

Advice
Balmerlawn: questions and answers
Does a site in Balmerlawn have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Usually 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 will plan from there.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Is Balmerlawn in your area?
Yes. We cover Balmerlawn and the rest of Hampshire. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Expansion joint sealing in Balmerlawn: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Balmerlawn included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Schools like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. A healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (4 miles south of Balmerlawn) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
