Expansion joint sealing in Brockenhurst, done properly
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve new sealant over old, now failing and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, across car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Brockenhurst first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Brockenhurst, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photos and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Work in places the size of Brockenhurst is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Brockenhurst outside your area?
Not at all. Brockenhurst is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will our site in Brockenhurst have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you take on multi-site work?
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.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
