What we are called out for in Curling Tye Green
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, normally means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Schools like Plume School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Curling Tye Green
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. If you are dealing with car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Curling Tye Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Curling Tye Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Curling Tye Green as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Building owners, agents and FMs in Curling Tye Green
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.

What else we do in Curling Tye Green
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work 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, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Curling Tye Green are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid 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
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Your questions answered
Is Curling Tye Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like St Peter's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
