Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

If you need expansion joint sealing in Coggeshall, start with photos and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed before issuing a fixed quote. You can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to talk the joints through. If you are dealing with water dripping through deck or ramp joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Coggeshall, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Coggeshall, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. What matters most for a job in Coggeshall is a clear list of what needs doing. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What else we do in Coggeshall
Your questions answered
Is Earls Colne Business Park, near Coggeshall, within your area?
Yes. We cover Coggeshall and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Earls Colne Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Coggeshall too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What we are called out for in Coggeshall
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
For a school such as Honywood Community Science School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Joints that move: notes for Coggeshall
Coggeshall sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. Less than 3 miles from Coggeshall there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
On a site such as Earls Colne Business Park (2.4 miles north of Coggeshall), the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Another example is Gold Key Industrial Estate, which lies south of Coggeshall, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
