Site staff or a sealant specialist?

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 for commercial buildings in Goose Green
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 comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied with primer where the maker calls for it. Most enquiries involve joints packed with grit and debris and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Goose Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Goose Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Goose Green
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, so we check width and movement before quoting.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
On a site such as Crays Court (business park) (0.5 miles south-west of Goose Green), the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

FAQs: Goose Green
Must our site in Goose Green stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of 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.
Is Goose Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Goose Green are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Converted and older buildings near places like Goose Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What affects the price in Goose Green
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Goose Green
The 3 miles around Goose Green take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Goose Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Another example is Wiston Business Park (2.2 miles south of Goose Green), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Schools such as Rydon Community College have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For work around Goose Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
