When to bring in 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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
Expansion joint sealing in Feering
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. The enquiries we see most involve debris jammed in movement joints and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Feering, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Feering, measurements and photos 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. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Commercial clients in Feering
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

Our process
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 reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building around Feering, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. 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.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Quotes
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Advice
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Feering
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
In a school such as Feering Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Your questions answered
Is Threshelfords Business Park, near Feering, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Feering and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Threshelfords Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will our site in Feering have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Is Feering in your area?
Yes. We cover Feering and the rest of Essex. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
