Expansion joint sealing in Allhallows, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. We work on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant pulling off the joint face.

Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Allhallows have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- Any dates the work must fit around

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Allhallows
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Schools such as Allhallows Primary Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Allhallows may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Questions we are asked in Allhallows
Would you work within a site like Chartwell Private Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Allhallows off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. We confirm the timescale with the quote along with the phasing plan.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
