From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Beckley Furnace, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space

What affects the price in Beckley Furnace
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions from Beckley Furnace clients
Is Beckley Furnace too far out for you?
No. Places such as Beckley Furnace are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Conquest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Beckley Furnace, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
