Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Expansion joint sealing in Blyth Bridge, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you are dealing with damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Blyth Bridge? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In smaller places such as Blyth Bridge, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Blyth Bridge is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- 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.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
What the job involves on each surface
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, with backing rod setting the depth.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Common problems we fix in Blyth Bridge
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Hospital campuses such as Castle Craig Hospital, 0.9 miles south of Blyth Bridge, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
