Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Expansion joint sealing in Candy Mill, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant over old, now failing and debris jammed in movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Candy Mill tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Candy Mill: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Candy Mill: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kello Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Must our site in Candy Mill stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you cover Candy Mill?
Yes. Candy Mill falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Candy Mill
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
