About our expansion joint sealing in Norton Green
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. The enquiries we see most involve spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Norton Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Norton Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Questions about Norton Green
Can being near the sea in Norton Green affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Is Norton Green in your area?
Yes. Sites across Norton Green are covered.
What we’re called out for in Norton Green
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, normally means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Look out for the following:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
In a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Who will actually carry out the work

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Joints that move: notes for Norton Green
Norton Green sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Norton Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Hospital campuses such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, 5.4 miles to the north of Norton Green, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Norton Green is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Our applicators travel to Norton Green for work on movement joints.

Why act early in Norton Green
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Halls, stores and units around places like Norton Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Norton Green are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- 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
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. We use a sealant rated for the movement, normally low-modulus.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
