Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Burnham-on-Crouch
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1 and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. If you have movement joints with split or torn sealant and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Burnham-on-Crouch? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around Burnham-on-Crouch, most floor and movement joint jobs are single buildings or yards. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. If anything looks wrong, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with photographs.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.

Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.
What do you charge?

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What exactly is a movement joint?
They’re closely related. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Burnham-on-Crouch
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Debris jammed in movement joints
If you manage units on an estate such as Springfield Industrial Estate, under half a mile west of Burnham-on-Crouch, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
