In and around smaller places like Crouch, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Crouch as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Crouch
Is Crouch too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Bourne Enterprise Centre, by Crouch?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Crouch, Bourne Enterprise Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first, because the fix differs.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it typically 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.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Crouch?
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
For a school such as Borough Green Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Crouch, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Crouch
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. For buildings around smaller places like Crouch, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Public liability insurance in place
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
