Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Expansion joint sealing in Hordle, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we’re called in for most is spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and previous reseals laid over old sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Hordle? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around Hordle, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. In a smaller place such as Hordle, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Several jobs near Hordle can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- 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.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
What else we do in Hordle
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Hordle
Hordle lies within about 2 miles of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Hordle is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
If you manage units on an estate such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, 2.3 miles west of Hordle, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. In a school such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. A healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (to the east of Hordle) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Hordle is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Hordle is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Hordle is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area (15 miles or so).
Postcode districts covered here: SO41. For a building on Yerville Gardens, Acacia Road and Woodlands or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for movement joints. Just outside Hordle, we also work in Downton (1 mile south), Leagreen (1 mile south), Ashley (1 mile west), Tiptoe (2 miles north) and New Milton (2 miles west). Nearby towns on our patch include Totton (12 miles north-east), Lymington (3 miles east), Hythe (12 miles north-east), Ringwood (9 miles north-west), Dibden Purlieu (11 miles north-east) and Marchwood (12 miles north-east).
Near you in Hordle
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Arnewood School and the streets around them. The closest station to Hordle is New Milton station, roughly 1.7 miles west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (2.4 miles west) and Highcliffe Castle (4.4 miles west). The countryside around Hordle includes Milford on Sea LNR.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Common questions from Hordle clients
Our building in Hordle is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Hordle off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
