Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
About our expansion joint sealing in Flowers Green
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. 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. We work on blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is movement joints with split or torn sealant and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Flowers Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Flowers Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Flowers Green as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Quoting for work in Flowers Green
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

Flowers Green: questions and answers
Must our site in Flowers Green stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Amberstone Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Do you work in Flowers Green?
Yes. Sites across Flowers Green are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, with phasing where areas must stay open. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Smaller jobs around Flowers Green can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Halls, stores and units around places like Flowers Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Why us?
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
