Expansion joint sealing in Broad Street Green
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. If you’re dealing with expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and new sealant over old, now failing, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Broad Street Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Broad Street Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Broad Street Green: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Broad Street Green change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you work at a site such as The Causeway Industrial Estate, by Broad Street Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Broad Street Green, The Causeway Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
When to call us in Broad Street Green
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Schools like Heybridge Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building

- The type of building and who uses it

Where floor joints take the most wear near Broad Street Green
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Broad Street Green. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Rainfall across the South East, Broad Street Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Across sites such as Leigh Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles south-west of Broad Street Green, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. A healthcare site such as St Peter's Hospital (2 miles south-west of Broad Street Green) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

What else we do in Broad Street Green
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. For work around Broad Street Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
