Your questions answered
Is East Boldre too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Our building in East Boldre is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available and we will plan around them.
Expansion joint sealing in East Boldre, done properly
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises, and the bead is tooled so it grips the two faces alone. If you have expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in East Boldre it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as East Boldre, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Warehouse floors and decks around East Boldre
East Boldre lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. East Boldre sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Hospital campuses such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (4.1 miles south-west of East Boldre) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. In a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around East Boldre can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.

What we need from you

General trades versus 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, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
