Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply

About our expansion joint sealing in New Forest
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you have arrises breaking up along floor joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in New Forest, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near New Forest, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Where floor joints take the most wear near New Forest
New Forest sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
A joint near New Forest that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next. For floors and slabs around New Forest, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building around New Forest, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Does a site in New Forest have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in New Forest?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you cover New Forest?
Yes. New Forest is in our area and the rest of Hampshire. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in.
