Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Expansion joint sealing in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. 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 movement joints with split or torn sealant and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most work in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. Your photographs, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mount Farm Industrial Estate (1.4 miles north of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Before you book anyone
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
- When you need the work done
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you work in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Yes. Bletchley and Fenny Stratford falls within our area, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases.
