When to call us in Cross in Hand
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Ghyll Road Industrial Estate (1.6 miles south-east of Cross in Hand): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Questions we are asked in Cross in Hand
Is Cross in Hand too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Station Road Industrial Estate, by Cross in Hand?
Yes, sites like Station Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Cross in Hand. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
