Common questions from Hillyfields clients
Is Nursling Retail Park, near Hillyfields, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hillyfields, Nursling Retail Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Our building in Hillyfields is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Expect a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Do you cover Hillyfields?
Yes. Hillyfields is in our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
About our expansion joint sealing in Hillyfields
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1 and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. If you’re dealing with leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Hillyfields, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Work in a smaller place like Hillyfields is usually one building at a time, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Retail sites such as Nursling Retail Park (to the west of Hillyfields) have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. What matters most for a job in Hillyfields is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
