What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Brickwork movement joints

Joints that move: notes for East End
East End sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Rainfall across the South East, East End included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.7 miles west of East End) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
East End is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Commercial clients in East End use us for work on movement joints. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including East End. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page, about 11 miles away.

Questions about East End
Is a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can being near the sea in East End affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Expect a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like East End are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
When to call us in East End
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it so edge repair has to come before resealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
For a school such as South Baddesley Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
