When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Expansion joint sealing in Branbridges
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. We work on blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and new sealant over old, now failing. For commercial sealant work in Branbridges, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site near Branbridges, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around Branbridges, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Branbridges
Can you work at a site such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate, by Branbridges?
Yes. We cover Branbridges and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Woodfalls Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Oakwood Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Branbridges can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.

Rainfall across the South East, Branbridges included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
