Expansion joint sealing in Furzey Lodge, done properly
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. If you are dealing with new sealant over old, now failing and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Furzey Lodge? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Furzey Lodge, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

FAQs: Furzey Lodge
Will our site in Furzey Lodge 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. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Furzey Lodge outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing so you are not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

When to call us in Furzey Lodge
When the movement exceeds the sealant’s capability, the bead tears. A joint that’s too narrow for the movement, or a product with the wrong movement class, will split through the middle. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
For a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

- How the existing material will be dealt with

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. 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
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- 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.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
