Expansion joint sealing for Lyndhurst sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
When to call us in Lyndhurst
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again unless width and product are reviewed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Schools like St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Traffic, movement and joints around Lyndhurst
Rainfall across the South East, Lyndhurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
A healthcare site such as Ashurst Hospital, 2.6 miles north-east of Lyndhurst, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Lyndhurst is about 4 miles south-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Lyndhurst sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, including Lyndhurst.

What affects the price in Lyndhurst
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near Lyndhurst can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions about Lyndhurst
Is a smaller place like Lyndhurst outside your area?
Not at all. Lyndhurst is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ashurst Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
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.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
