How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hollywater
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hollywater tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Hollywater, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Hollywater
At about 43 miles from central London, Hollywater is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Rainfall across the South East, Hollywater included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For a school such as Woodlea Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Estates like Woolmer Trading Estate (to the north-west of Hollywater) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Across sites such as Passfield Industrial Estate, which lies east of Hollywater, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Hollywater is about 6 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Hollywater sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 723 places in Hampshire. Our Portsmouth page has more on work in that area (23 miles or so).

Your questions answered
Is Hollywater too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hollywater is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Woolmer Trading Estate, near Hollywater, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Hollywater and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Woolmer Trading Estate included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last, and we will point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
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.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Rural sites near Hollywater may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.

- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

Advice
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Hollywater can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
