Expansion joint sealing in Holbury
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Holbury, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Holbury, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards, so we gather photographs and measurements first. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
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 each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Holbury, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Holbury
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Hardley Industrial Estate (1.1 miles north-west of Holbury): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Questions we’re asked in Holbury
Is Holbury 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. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Glenmore Business Park, near Holbury?
Yes. Our area takes in Holbury and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Glenmore Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. We agree a revised date with you.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Expansion joint sealing in Holbury: the local picture
Holbury is within about 2 miles of the coast. 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, Holbury included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For an estate such as Hythe Hospital, 2.3 miles north of Holbury, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Parks like Glenmore Business Park, 1 mile north-west of Holbury, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Holbury for work on movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Holbury among them.

A short drive away, we cover Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (8 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
What’s near Holbury
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The New Forest Academy, among other places. The closest station to Holbury is Netley station, roughly 3.8 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (3.1 miles west) and Calshot Castle (3.4 miles east). The countryside around Holbury includes Mercury Marshes.
Doing it in-house
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. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
