How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Croxley Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Common problems we fix in Croxley Green
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
On industrial estates such as Peerglow Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the south of Croxley Green, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
