Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Berners Roding
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Berners Roding, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What we are called out for in Berners Roding
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, typically means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
In and around Berners Roding, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Berners Roding are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we start on site

Advice
Questions about Berners Roding
Is a smaller place like Berners Roding outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Berners Roding?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote, including any phasing.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Berners Roding
Central London is about 25 miles from Berners Roding. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Berners Roding is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For estates staff at a university like Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus (4.2 miles east of Berners Roding), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
Berners Roding is about 8 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. We cover commercial sites throughout Berners Roding. Berners Roding is one of 644 places in Essex on our list for movement joints. London is covered too, some 25 miles away.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
