What we can’t put right
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)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints

- Brickwork movement joints
Expansion joint sealing in Egerton, done properly
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. If you’re dealing with expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right, on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Egerton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Egerton, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Questions about Egerton
Is Egerton too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Egerton?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Egerton
Egerton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Egerton is about 41 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
In a school such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. In and around Egerton, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Egerton is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN27, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Egerton is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. We also cover London, some 41 miles away.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Egerton can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Egerton may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
