Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Erriottwood
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. If you’re dealing with chipped joint edges on forklift routes and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can help, on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Erriottwood is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Erriottwood, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
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 call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Erriottwood: questions and answers
Do we have to stop operations in Erriottwood while the joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is Erriottwood too small for you to travel to?
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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
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 we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Erriottwood may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
