Expansion joint sealing in Setley: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier 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.
Schools such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Large sites such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, 2.9 miles south-east of Setley, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Setley is about 4 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in Setley is covered. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Southampton have their own page, roughly 11 miles from Setley.

About our expansion joint sealing in Setley
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Setley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Setley, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Leave it or put it right?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Setley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Your questions answered
Does a site in Setley have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Setley off your patch?
No. Places such as Setley are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
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 we plan with the forecast in mind.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

What else we do in Setley
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Setley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
