Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Burwash Weald need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Burwash Weald outside your area?

How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Quoting for work in Burwash Weald
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
