For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Expansion joint sealing in Charlton, done properly
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, 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. Most enquiries involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and debris jammed in movement joints, across precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Charlton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Charlton, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Charlton
Charlton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Charlton has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
For buildings at a park such as Mylen Road Business Park, 0.8 miles to the south of Charlton, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Schools such as Harrow Way Community School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. For a centre such as Enham Arch Retail Park (1.1 miles east of Charlton), the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, 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, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Charlton need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
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. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
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.
