What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
What we’re called out for in Bedlar's Green
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Large sites such as Herts And Essex Community Hospital, 1.5 miles west of Bedlar's Green, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
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.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bedlar's Green are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Herts And Essex Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Bedlar's Green outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Doing it in-house
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
