Expansion joint sealing in Harmer Green, done properly
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. Most enquiries involve rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and joints packed with grit and debris, across brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Harmer Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Harmer Green, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

What we’re called out for in Harmer 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 unless width and product are reviewed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
At a retail site such as Howard Centre, 2.4 miles south-west of Harmer Green, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Around Harmer Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Harmer Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

What do you charge?

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
