Slabs, ramps and loading bays in The Hummicks
The Hummicks is within about 2 miles of the coast. 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. Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of The Hummicks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Another example is Glenmore Business Park (2.5 miles north-east of The Hummicks), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. On industrial estates such as Hardley Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of The Hummicks, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Hospital campuses such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (to the south-west of The Hummicks) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
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.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with photos.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near The Hummicks need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Other services in The Hummicks
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Converted and older buildings near places like The Hummicks tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- One number for every site we cover

Your questions answered
Is The Hummicks too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. The Hummicks is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lymington New Forest Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. We agree a revised date with you.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
