How we handle expansion joint sealing in Nettlecombe
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are 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 are dealing with torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Most enquiries from Nettlecombe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Nettlecombe, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Nettlecombe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Converted and older buildings near places like Nettlecombe tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Questions about Nettlecombe
Is Nettlecombe too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around Nettlecombe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Cost factors for movement joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

Expansion joint sealing around Nettlecombe: how the place shapes the job
Nettlecombe is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Less than 3 miles from Nettlecombe there are two named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
On industrial estates such as Wroxall Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Nettlecombe, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. At places like Ventnor Industrial Estate (2.2 miles east of Nettlecombe), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For an estate such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (4.1 miles north-east of Nettlecombe), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
