Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Expansion joint sealing in New Milton
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve water dripping through deck or ramp joints and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, on cladding panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints. For commercial sealant work in New Milton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Work in a smaller place like New Milton is normally one building at a time, so we gather photos and measurements first. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Milton
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several jobs near New Milton can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around 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 tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Related advice
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in New Milton
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
Look out for the following:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
In a school such as The Arnewood School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Expansion joint sealing in New Milton: the local picture
New Milton is within about 2 miles of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. New Milton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
A healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (5.1 miles east of New Milton) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. If you manage units on an estate such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, which lies west of New Milton, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Common questions from New Milton clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, by New Milton?
Yes. We cover New Milton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gore Road Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Yes. We take on work across New Milton, and the same phone number covers every area.
