About our expansion joint sealing in Furze Platt
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. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. If you are dealing with debris jammed in movement joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Furze Platt, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Work in a smaller place like Furze Platt is typically one building at a time. That way the right materials come on the day and the job is done in one visit where possible.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Furze Platt need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
What we need from you

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Furze Platt
Rainfall across the South East, Furze Platt included, is lower than in many parts of the UK.

FAQs: Furze Platt
Does your area include sites such as Cliveden View Shopping Centre, near Furze Platt?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Furze Platt, Cliveden View Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Furze Platt too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably, and the sealing method is much the same.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

What else we do in Furze Platt
Why deal with it now?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. In a smaller place such as Furze Platt, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
