Why it’s worth doing now in Crockhurst Street
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Crockhurst Street. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Common questions from Crockhurst Street clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Crockhurst Street too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Crockhurst Street are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Crockhurst Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
What we are called out for in Crockhurst Street
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Office parks like Kingstanding Business Park, 1.8 miles to the south-west of Crockhurst Street, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Proof of insurance
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
