For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Foulford can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
About our expansion joint sealing in Foulford
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. 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, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and debris jammed in movement joints, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. Most enquiries from Foulford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Foulford have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common questions from Foulford clients
Is Foulford too far out for you?
No. Places such as Foulford are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Foulford, such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park?
Yes. We cover Foulford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
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.
What exactly is 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 both need a flexible seal.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- 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. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
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 flagging broken edges along the way.
