Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Berrick Salome are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Berrick Salome
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. Site teams most often ask us about water dripping through deck or ramp joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Berrick Salome, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Berrick Salome have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with photos.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

Other services in Berrick Salome
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Berrick Salome?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Business parks such as Monument Business Park (to the north-east of Berrick Salome) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

Common questions from Berrick Salome clients
Is a smaller place like Berrick Salome outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Monument Business Park, near Berrick Salome?
Yes, sites like Monument Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Berrick Salome. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.
Why it’s worth doing now in Berrick Salome
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Berrick Salome. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
