Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Monkswood Retail Park, by Bedwell?
Yes, sites like Monkswood Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bedwell. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our unit in Stevenage is decades old: is it worth resealing the floor joints?
Generally yes, provided the arrises are still in reasonable shape. We’ll advise on the product for your traffic and flag any edges that need repair first.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
