Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Fairstead
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: 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. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are layers of sealant in a movement joint and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Fairstead, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Fairstead, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Fairstead
Fairstead lies roughly 36 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Rainfall across the South East, Fairstead included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
On a site such as Banters Lane Business Park, 2.4 miles north-west of Fairstead, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. For a school such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A healthcare site such as William Julien Courtauld Hospital (to the north of Fairstead) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Fairstead, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
