- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Burroughs Grove
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. We work on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is arrises breaking up along floor joints and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. For commercial sealant work in Burroughs Grove, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Burroughs Grove have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why act early in Burroughs Grove
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we’ll tell you honestly. For buildings around smaller places like Burroughs Grove, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.

Take a look at our cost guide or how we’re accredited.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

FAQs: Burroughs Grove
Is Globe Business Park, near Burroughs Grove, within your area?
Yes, sites like Globe Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Burroughs Grove. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Burroughs Grove too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Burroughs Grove is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can normally carry on regardless.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally 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. If others near Burroughs Grove need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
