How we handle expansion joint sealing in Balls Green
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you have expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Balls Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Balls Green, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What else we do in Balls Green
Common problems we fix in Balls Green
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Schools such as St Michael's Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Balls Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.
