Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a job in Highcliffe, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- We start with photos, 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.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Rural business units around smaller places such as Highcliffe often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Common questions from Highcliffe clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Highcliffe, such as Bar End Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Bar End Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Highcliffe. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Highcliffe too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
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.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Small buildings around Highcliffe suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
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.
Warehouse floors and decks around Highcliffe
Highcliffe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Highcliffe lies roughly 60 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Large sites such as Leigh House Hospital (to the north-east of Highcliffe) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For an occupier at a site such as Bar End Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the south-west of Highcliffe, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. Campuses like University of Winchester (to the west of Highcliffe) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
